Antiseptic efficacies ethanol and CHG in ethanol solutions. The 2% CHG in 70% ethanol eliminated the MDRAB-Bs completely at the 1 min time point. The 0.5% CHG in 70% isopropyl alcohol eliminated the MDRAB-Bs completely at 3 min time point. However, the70% ethanol eliminated the MDRAB-B completely at 10 min time point. * Indicates significantly lower MDRAB CFUs treated with 2% CHG in 70% ethanol agent than 0.5 CHG in 70% isopropyl alcohol. (Three-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Scheffe’s post hoc test, p < 0.005). #. Indicates significant lower multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii colony forming units (MDRAB CFUs) treated with 2% CHG in 70% ethanol agent than 70% ethanol agent. (Three-way ANOVA with Scheffe’s post hoc test, p < 0.005). Reproduced with permission from [72], Journal of Microbiology, Imunology and Infection, 2018.
