Desiccation and ethanol resistances of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii embedded in biofilm: The favorable antiseptic efficacy of combination chlorhexidine gluconate and ethanol

ConclusionMDRAB with biofilm-formation presented significantly higher desiccation and ethanol resistances than their planktonic type. Moreover, the 2% CHG in 70% ethanol agent provided a superior antiseptic efficacy for MDRAB-Bs than that of the 70% ethanol agent.
