In dermatological use it is spelled polihexanide (INN) and sold under names such as Lavasept, Serasept, and Omnicide.〔: Polihexanide〕 PHMB has been shown to be effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus (also the methicillin-resistant type, MRSA), Escherichia coli, Candida albicans (yeast), Aspergillus brasiliensis (mold), vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and Klebsiella pneumoniae (carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae).〔Maribeth Cousin, Kimberly Restivo, Chelsea Rodriguez, and Justin Lien.
