Abstract: Chlorhexidine bathing to prevent transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms and reduce health care-associated infections has been adopted by many hospitals. There is concern about the possible unintended consequences of using this agent widely. One possible unintended consequence is decreased susceptibility to chlorhexidine, but there are not readily available methods to perform this evaluation. We developed a method for chlorhexidine MIC testing that can be used to evaluate for possible unintended consequences.
