The bactericidal efficacy of two antiseptics against common pathogens associated with catheter-associated urinary tract infection in the elderly under divergent conditions: A laboratory-based study
BAC and AEOW exhibit effective bactericidal activity against common pathogens associated with CAUTI in elderly patients. When used for perineal irrigation, these antiseptics can be heated for improved patient comfort, as temperatures within the range of 40 °C do not affect their disinfection efficacy.
