Mechanism of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Resistance in Purpureocillium lilacinum Strains.
Biocontrol science, 2022 Purpureocillium lilacinum has been recently found to contaminate a 20% (200,000 μg/mL) aqueous solution of polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB) . We aimed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the resistance of P. lilacinum to PHMB. First, we induced the PHMB-resistant (IR) strains IFM 67050 (IR) and IFM 65838 (IR) from the type strain P ...

Determination of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Utilizing a Glucose Oxidase Enzymatic Reaction
Analytical Sciences, 2019 Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) is a cationic disinfectant widely used for personal-care products and for sanitizers in swimming pools. This paper describes a promotion effect of PHMB on a glucose oxidase (GOx) enzymatic reaction with ferricyanide ion and its analytical application. The promotion effect arose from a polyion complex formation between
