In the context of increasing antibiotic resistance, antiseptics play a crucial role in preventing opportunistic infections. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of modern antiseptics in treating wound infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, a high-priority wound pathogen. The results show that antiseptics such as chlorhexidine and decamethoxine have potent bactericidal activity and can inhibit biofilm formation by A. baumannii.
Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are among the most prominent medical problems worldwide. In the context of increasing antibiotic resistance globally, the use of antiseptics as the main active agent and potentiator of antibiotics for the treatment of purulent-inflammatory complications of traumatic wounds, burns, and surgical wounds can be considered to tackle opportunistic infections and their prevention during war. This study presents a comparative investigation of the antimicrobial efficacy of antiseptics used for surgical antisepsis and antiseptic treatment of skin, mucous membranes, and wounds against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii as a wound pathogen of critical priority (according to the WHO). It was found that strains of A. baumannii, which have natural and acquired resistance to antimicrobial drugs, remain susceptible to modern antiseptics. Antiseptic drugs based on decamethoxine, chlorhexidine, octenidine, polyhexanide, and povidone-iodine 10% and 2% provide effective bactericidal activity against A. baumannii within the working concentrations of these drugs. Chlorhexidine and decamethoxine can inhibit biofilm formation by A. baumannii cells. In terms of bactericidal properties and biofilm formation inhibition, chlorhexidine and decamethoxine are the most effective of all tested antiseptics.
