The Effect of Brief Exposure to Sub-Therapeutic Concentrations of Chlorhexidine Digluconate on the Susceptibility of Staphylococci to Platelet Microbicidal Protein

Abstract: The combined data indicate that PMP exerts cooperative bactericidal effect with CHXD. The anti-staphylococcal PMP and CHXD synergistic activity in vitro demonstrated in the present study make these molecules potentially useful for preventing endovascular catheter-associated infections. Future research based on animal and human models is needed to elucidate the in vivo efficacies and toxicities and utility in clinical practice.

“…It may be related, in whole or part, to the bacteriocidal effects that chlorhexidine offers, but requires further investigation. 8 An important exception to the above is a randomized study by Storey et al 20 that found no statistically significant difference in incidence of CLABSI with impregnated PICCS relative to plain/uncoated PICCs. However, this study was unblinded and underpowered: out of 167 line insertions only three CLABSI occurred.…”

“…1,4,5 Introduction of a PICC into a vein also triggers a series of pathophysiological interactions, including activation of contact and complement factors, platelet activation, and leukocyte adhesion at the venous intima and the luminal and non-luminal surfaces of the PICC, creating a potential opportunity for both CLABSI and thrombosis development, where progression of one of these phenomena could possibly promote the progression of the other. 8,9,[22][23][24] Clinical studies have demonstrated impactful microbial colonization reduction with use of chlorhexidine-coated PICCs, 19,20 It has also been demonstrated in animal studies catheter impregnation with chlorhexidine may reduce FS accumulation and reduces rates of catheter occlusion. Sylvia et al 12 examined the use of a chlorhexidine-coated PICC and demonstrated a reduction in FS weight (64%) and length (66%) when compared to plain/uncoated PICCs in an ovine model, even though such difference was found to be not statistically significant.…”

“…In clinical settings, there are reports of pathogens which have shown decreased susceptibility to antiseptics. 15 - 17 Although such bacterial resistance against disinfectants in clinical settings are a major cause for nosocomial infections, their transference to either private of public swimming pools will be cause for public health concern. 18 Also, as diseases resulting from infections caused by S aureus, E coli, Clostridium perfringens , and Enterococcus faecalis , which had been isolated from different depths of pools by Saberianpour et al, 5 there is the possibility of transference of clinical-resistant genes to bacteria in communities through swimming pools.…”

“…However, a large number of pathogens with the decreased antiseptic susceptibility have been isolated from clinical samples which showed an increased minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against those antiseptics. 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 These resistant pathogens are the major causes for nosocomial cross-infections in hospital. Sometimes, the infection is fatal.…”
