Chlorhexidine Vs. PHMB • PHMB is more effective than CHG in both clean and dirty conditions against S.aureus • CHG is slightly more effective than PHMB in both clean and dirty conditions against both Ps.aeruginosa and S.marcescens • PHMB is more effective than CHG in clean conditions against C.albicans • CHG is not effective in dirty conditions up to 0.2% when tested against C.albicans • PHMB is effective at 0.2% in dirty conditions against C.albicans
