Sj. Hiom et al., UPTAKE OF C-14 CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE BY SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE, CANDIDA-ALBICANS AND CANDIDA-GLABRATA, Letters in applied microbiology, 21(1), 1995, pp. 20-22
Uptake of radiolabelled chlorhexidine gluconate (C-14-CHG) to Saccharo
myces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and C. glabrata. was very rapid and
near maximal within 30 s. The organism, S. cerevisiae, most sensitive
to the lethal action of chlorhexidine, took up significantly more bio
cide than the other organisms. Cells from cultures of different ages t
ook up different amounts of C-14-CHG.
