Chlorhexidine gluconate is the gluconate salt form of chlorhexidine used as an antiseptic agent with topical antibacterial activity. Chlorhexidine gluconate is positively charged and reacts with the negatively charged microbial cell surface, disrupting the integrity of the cell membrane. Chlorhexidine gluconate then penetrates the cell and causes leakage of intracellular components, leading to cell death. Gram-positive bacteria are more sensitive to this substance as they are more negatively charged. Chlorhexidine gluconate acts as an antibacterial agent.
Chlorhexidine (chlorhexidine gluconate and chlorhexidine digluconate) is a disinfectant and antiseptic used for preoperative skin disinfection and sterilizing surgical instruments.
