Mechanism of action
Chlorhexidine is a biguanide antiseptic that binds to negatively charged bacterial cell membranes, causing leakage of cellular contents and cell death. It also interferes with bacterial enzyme systems and nucleic acid metabolism. When formulated in isopropyl alcohol, the alcohol enhances penetration and provides additional antimicrobial activity.
