Biosafety Evaluation and Quantitative Determination of Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) Coated on Cellulosic Fabrics by Kubelka-Munk Equation [PDF]
Abstract It is a challenge to determine the quantity of cationic finishing agents on the surface of cellulosic fabrics. Herein, we report a direct and feasible method by Kubelka-Munk equation to quantify the cationic poly (hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) adsorbed onto cotton fabrics based on the principle of formation of a stable ...

In vitro response of THP-1 derived macrophages to antimicrobially effective PHMB-coated Ti6Al4V alloy implant material with and without contamination with S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa [PDF]
Aim Periprosthetic joint infections are a devastating complication after arthroplasty, leading to rejection of the prosthesis. The prevention of septic loosening may be possible by an antimicrobial coating of the implant surface.

Comparison of the in vitro antibiofilm activities of otic cleansers against canine otitis externa pathogens [PDF]
Background – Biofilm production by canine otitis externa (COE) pathogens and resistance development to multiple antimicrobials are commonly reported problems in veterinary practice. The use of adjuvants to disrupt biofilms may be a viable adjunctive therapy.

Screening-enhanced effect enables poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride to effectively overcome charge screening limitations [PDF]
Abstract The charge screening caused by ionic strength always brings about negative effects. Poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB) was found to possess screening-enhanced effect and could effectively overcome charge screening limitations. However, the mechanism of action is unknown.

Background: The significance of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is that it increases morbidity, mortality, and treatment costs. The incidence of infections is reduced by the use of antibiotic-impregnated dressings at the central catheter insertion site. In this context, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)-containing dressings have

Surgical sutures are widely utilized medical devices for the purpose of closing wounds after surgical interventions. During surgical procedures, sutures can come into contact with microorganisms in the surrounding environment, leading to the development of bacterial biofilms and subsequent surgical site infections (SSI).
