Measuring alcohol-based hand rub volume used by healthcare workers in practice
Rachel A. Leslie,Curtis J. Donskey,Curtis J. Donskey,TF Zabarsky,Albert E. Parker,Macinga,Ojan Assadian +6 more
TL;DR: Little data exists on actual ABHR AVs used in clinical practice, but it may be assumed that healthcare workers (HCWs) use AVs recommended by manufacturers; however, HCWs typically are able to control AV.
Clinical use of the antiseptic polihexanide for genital tract infections.
TL;DR: Although PHMB-based antiseptics are available since the late 90s, controlled trials to investigate its clinical potential for antiseptic treatment are scant and clinical use of antisepta for the treatment of infectious diseases should be explored and supported further.
National surveillance of methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Austrian hospitals: 1994-1998.
TL;DR: The data do not support the hypothesis of higher virulence of MRSA compared with MSSA, and indeed, in this survey, MSSA episodes were more frequently associated with signs and symptoms of infection (OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.12-1.62, P<0.001).

Comparison of the effect of negative pressure wound therapy with and without installation of polyhexanide on the bacterial kinetic in chronic wounds
Georg Daeschlein,Matthias Napp,S. Lutze,S. von Podewils,G. Jukema,W. Fleischmann,H. Haase,J. Leitgeb,Axel Ekkernkamp,Ojan Assadian +9 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that management of infected wounds with NPWT, with or without instillation of 0.02% PHMB, did not reduce the number of bacteria on wounds and challenges the concept that bacterial bioburden correlates with impaired wound healing.

The effect of negative pressure wound therapy with antibacterial dressings or antiseptics on an in vitro wound model.
TL;DR: Both intermitted instillation of octenidine and silver-based dressings in standard NPWT were significantly superior compared with non-antimicrobial polyurethane foam dressings or PHMB coated gauze dressing after 48 hours.
