Conditions:

Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum biocide effective against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. It is used primarily as its salts (e.g., the dihydrochloride, diacetate, and digluconate). Chlorhexidine inactivates microorganisms with a broader spectrum than other antimicrobials (e.g. antibiotics) and has a quicker kill rate than other antimicrobials (e.g. povidone-iodine). It has both bacteriostatic (inhibits bacterial growth) and bactericidal (kills bacteria) mechanisms of action, depending on its concentration. Chlorhexidine kills by disrupting the cell membrane. The most common side effects associated with chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinses are: 1) an increase in staining of teeth and other oral surfaces; 2) an increase in calculus formation; and 3) an alteration in taste perception; 4) toothache; 5) upper respiratory tract infection; and 6) headache.
Sulbenicillin (INN) is a penicillin antibiotic, product name: KEDACILLIN (SODIUM SULBENICILLIN) is effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and anaerobic Bacteroides, and is also effective against gram-positive bacteria sensitive to Penicillin – G. It’s excreted into the urine and bile in high concentration. Therefore, urinary levels, well above those required to eradicate urinary pathogens, are achieved. It is indicated to treat urinary tract infections: pyelonephritis, pyelitis, pyonephrosis, cystitis and urethritis. Bile-duct infections: cholecystitis and cholangitis. Respiratory tract infections: acute and chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, bronchopneumonia, pneumonia and pulmonary suppuration. Obstetrics and Gynecology: intrauterine infection, adnexitis, intrapelvic infection and Bartholinitis. Superfacial suppurative diseases: folliculitis, furuncle, carbuncle, abscess, panaris, phlegmon, tonsilitis, peritonsilitis, peritonsillar abscess, erysipelas, ophthalmia, blepharitis, corneal ulcer, dacryocystitis, stye, post-operative wound infection and traumatic and burn infections. Peritonitis. Septicemia and sub-acute bacterial endocarditis. Sulbenicillin caused elongation of the bacterial cells. At the early stage of elongation, no demonstrable changes of ultrastructure of the cell wall were observed. At the late stage, lysis of the peptidoglycan layer occurred and spheroplast was formed. However, most of the outer membrane of the cell wall remained intact. Sulbenicillin acts upon the peptidoglycan layer, but not on the outer membrane.
