USE OF CHLORHEXIDINE GLUCONATE FOR THE REDUCTION OF BIOFILM FORMATION ON MEDICAL DEVICES

The subject invention provides materials methods for reducing infections in subjects. The materials methods utilize chlorhexidine, which has been found to be surprisingly non-toxic. The lack of toxicity facilitates the use of chlorhexidine in contexts that were not previously thought to be possible.
