2018, Early Human DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :The broader implications of widespread antibiotic use during pregnancy for any indication are poorly understood and warrant careful consideration in the context of EOGBS prevention policy. Alternative strategies for reducing maternal colonisation and vertical transmission have been explored, including vaginal cleansing with chlorhexidine [14,15] and antenatal vaccination against GBS [16]. No licensed vaccines are available to date, however pre-clinical and clinical trials are underway (clinicaltrials.gov; NCT03170609, NCT01193920, NCT01446289).
Chlorhexidine possesses unique cytotoxic actions in rat thymic lymphocytes: Its relation with electrochemical property of membranes
2016, Environmental Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, CHX is easily found in our environment. Mouthwash typically contains 0.02–0.2% CHX digluconate as an antimicrobial agent (for a review, Jones, 1997), while vaginal wash during labor is performed usually with 0.2% CHX digluconate (Burman et al., 1992). In gel formulation for single topical application, the concentration of CHX ranges from 1 to 2% (Jones, 1997).
