How It Works

Disrupts bacterial cell membranes by binding to negatively charged cell wall components, leading to leakage of intracellular contents and cell death.

Mechanism Steps

1Chlorhexidine, a cationic bisbiguanide, binds to negatively charged bacterial cell wall components.

2Disruption of cell membrane integrity occurs at low concentrations, leading to leakage of potassium and other ions.

3At higher concentrations, precipitation of cytoplasmic contents and cell death.

4Bactericidal effect is rapid and broad-spectrum.
