Genetic diversity of Acanthamoeba and clinical outcome predictors in Danish patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 1, Page 44-51, February 2026.
Abstract Purpose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection with potential detrimental effects on visual outcome and quality of life, primarily affecting young contact lens wearers. We report Acanthamoeba genotypes, subtypes and clinical outcome from Danish patients with AK. Methods Thirty‐nine PCR‐positive AK cases diagnosed and treated

Corneal Penetration of Polyhexamethylene Biguanide and Chlorhexidine Digluconate

Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, 2015
Objective: Cationic antiseptics, such as polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) and chlorhexidine digluconate (CHG), are widely used for the topical treatment of Acanthamoeba keratitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the corneal penetration of PHMB and CHG topically administered as eye drops and to study the effect of PHMB and CHG on the ...

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 ...

Pantoea agglomerans in Equine Ulcerative Keratitis: Prevalence and Comparative Efficacy of Four Topical Antiseptics

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) and effective contact time of four topical antiseptics—polyhexanide, povidone‐iodine (PVP‐I), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and N‐acetylcysteine (NAC)—against Pantoea agglomerans, a pathogen frequently isolated in equine ulcerative keratitis.

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
