본 발명은 대상에서 감염을 경감시키기 위한 물질 방법을 제공한다. 상기 물질 방법은, 놀랍게도 무독성인 것으로 밝혀진 클로르헥시딘을 사용한다. 독성의 결여는 이전에는 가능한 것으로 생각되지 않았던 상황에서 클로르헥시딘의 사용을 용이하게 한다. 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.
