Chlorhexidine is a powerful cationic chemoprophylactic agent that is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Its mechanism of action depends on its concentration:
- Bactericidal: At high concentrations, it binds to negatively charged bacterial cell walls and extracellular microbial complexes, leading to cell death.
- Bacteriostatic: At low concentrations, it disrupts bacterial cell osmotic equilibrium, causing leakage of potassium and phosphorus.
