Sj. Broadley et al., POTENTIATION OF THE EFFECTS OF CHLORHEXIDINE DIACETATE AND CETYLPYRIDINIUM CHLORIDE ON MYCOBACTERIA BY ETHAMBUTOL, Journal of Medical Microbiology, 43(6), 1995, pp. 458-460
Ethambutol enhanced the effects of chlorhexidine diacetate and cetylpy
ridinium chloride against Mycobacterium avium, M. bovis BCG, M. fortui
tum and M. phlei. The findings show that it is possible to increase th
e susceptibility of mycobacteria to agents that normally exhibit poor
activity against these organisms because of their reduced cellular pen
etration.
