Dental plaque bacteria with reduced susceptibility to chlorhexidine are multidrug resistant

BACKGROUND: Chlorhexidine (CHX) is used in oral care products to help control dental plaque. In this study dental plaque bacteria were grown on media containing 2 μg/ml chlorhexidine gluconate to screen for bacteria with reduced CHX susceptibility. The isolates were characterized by 16S rRNA gene se...
