Biocidal action of chlorhexidine is annulled by nicotinic acid.

H Baker1, O Frank, B DeAngelis, E R Baker.   

Abstract

An analytical system comprising a bacterium and a protozoan was used to pinpoint the metabolic lesion whereby chlorhexidine (CLX) produced cell death. Nicotinic acid but not nicotinamide annulled the biocidal action of CLX. The results suggest that CLX may not permit bioconversion of nicotinamide to nicotinic acid to annul the growth inhibition induced by CLX.
