Antimicrobial activity of wound antiseptics against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-producing bacteria

In conclusion, our in vitro data demonstrate that commonly used wound antiseptic agents are effective against ESBL-producing bacteria. Furthermore, no influence of the antibiotic-resistance on the efficacy of the antiseptic agents tested or a higher resistance against strains used in standard methods could be observed.
