Alkyl glycosides as potentiating agents in antiseptic, disinfecting and cleaning preparations to increase microbicidal activity

摘要

Alkyl glycosides are used to greatly increase the microbicidal activity of biguanide compounds, such as chlorhexidine salts. The alkyl glycoside/biguanide agents have a particular utility in teeth cleaning preparations due to their improved microbicidal activity against gram-positive bacteria.
