Antiseptic susceptibility according to source of isolates

Antiseptics		Sample Source (N=55)
		Environmental samples (N = 32)		Healthcare workers (N = 14)		Clinical Infections (N = 9)	P Value
Benzalkonium chloride (BC)	Sensitive N (%)	1(11.1)		1(7)		1(11.1)	0.6
	Resistant N (%)	31(96.9)		13(93)		8(11.1)
Cetyltrimethy lammonium bromide (CTAB)	Sensitive N (%)	0		1(7)		1(11.1)	0.2
	Resistant N (%)	32(100)		13(93)		8(88.9)
Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHDG)	Sensitive N (%)	1(3.1)		7(50)		3(33.3)	0.001*
	Resistant N (%)	31(96.9)		7(50)		6(66.7)

*Significant; CHDG resistance is defined as a MIC ≥ 4 µg/ml [18]; CTAB resistance is defined as a MIC ≥ 0.5 µg/ml [19], and BAC with a MIC > 3 µg/ml [6] was considered resistant
