Moreover, managing wounds infected with priority pathogens remains a challenge. Despite the widespread availability of over-the-counter (OTC) antiseptics in wound care, comparative studies on their efficacy against biofilms or multidrug-resistant pathogens are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study compares the ability of different OTC antiseptics to disrupt biofilms of multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The antimicrobial activity of seven antiseptics (polyhexanide, octenidine, chloroxylenol, chlorhexidine, ethanol, cetrimide, phenol) against early-stage (3-hour) and mature (24-hour) biofilms was determined by measuring reductions in colony-forming units (cfu)\/biofilm while varying treatment exposure time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All OTC products significantly reduced early-stage biofilms of both pathogens below detectable limits within 5\u2005minutes (P\u200a&amp;lt;\u200a0.0001, n\u200a=\u200a3, LOD\u200a=\u200a100\u2005cfu\/biofilm). In mature biofilms, significant differences emerged. Polyhexanide, octenidine and cetrimide yielded modest reductions in cfu count\/biofilm (0.55\u20130.64-log) after 5\u2005minutes, while chloroxylenol and phenol achieved \u223c2.5-log reductions; notably, chlorhexidine reduced cfu\/mature biofilms below detectable limits within 5\u2005minutes. Extended exposure (60\u2005minutes) enhanced the efficacy of phenol and ethanol, with chloroxylenol and octenidine reducing cfu\/biofilm below detectable limits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OTC antiseptics are effective in eliminating early-stage biofilms; however, mature biofilms require either prolonged exposure, which may increase their toxicity and delay wound healing, or the use of potent formulations. Chlorhexidine gluconate, chloroxylenol and phenol offer an optimal balance between antibiofilm potency and tissue safety, offering promise for acute and chronic wound management particularly in low-resource settings.<\/jats:p>\n
