Abstract

Alkyl glycosides are used to greatly increase the microbicidal activity of biguanide compounds, such as chlorhexidine salts. The alkyl glycoside/biguanide agents have a particular utility in teeth cleaning preparations due to their improved microbicidal activity against gram-positive bacteria.
