Long-term effect of CHG on the skin microbiome of people with diabetes
The goal of this study was to observe the long-term effects of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on the skin microbiome of patients with diabetes who were at risk of developing foot ulcers (DFUs). Veterans were given CHG or soap-and-water wipes for daily foot washing and swab samples were collected to assess changes in microbiota over time.
