This review highlights antiseptic characteristics and their role in antimicrobial resistance, suggesting implications for healthcare practices.

Antiseptics like chlorhexidine and povidone-iodine are crucial in preventing infections amidst rising antimicrobial resistance.
Prolonged exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of antiseptics can reduce their effectiveness and lead to cross-resistance to antibiotics.
The review includes methods used to study antimicrobial activity and adaptations of bacteria to antiseptic exposure.
Findings point to a need for careful management of antiseptic use in healthcare to mitigate antimicrobial resistance risks.

Zawadzka et al. (2025) studied this question.
