Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of bacteria are a major clinical problem, and several reports have linked outbreaks of MDR bacteria with bacterial populations in hospital sinks. Biocides such as octenidine are used clinically in body washes and other products, such as wound dressings for infection control.
