Analysis of the Adaptation Capacity of <b><i>Staphylococcus aureus</i></b> to Commonly Used Antiseptics by Microplate Laser Nephelometry

Bacterial colonization and infection are important factors in compromised wound healing. Antiseptics have become an alternative for antimicrobial applications as antibiotic resistance is increasing; they have multiple targets with a broad spectrum of activity. Hence, the risk for developing resistance should be low. However, concerns have been raised that their growing use may result in bacteria that are less susceptible.
