To test whether biocide exposure in ESBL-Kp isolates is associated with i) decreased susceptibility to biocides and antibiotics (co-resistance), ii) emergence of mutations, iii) changes in expression of efflux pump and porin genes, and iv) fitness cost. The MICs of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), benzalkonium chloride (BZK), sodium hypochlorite (SOD), propanol-based solution (PRO), povidone-iodine (POV), ethanol (ET) and triclosan (TRI) were determined against 57 isolates.
