The invention relates to compounds, compositions and polymers comprising a first component adapted to promote germination of() and a second component which acts as an antimicrobial agent. Said compounds, compositions and polymers are useful for destroyingwhere conventional antimicrobial agents are unsuccessful. The compositions can be formulated as coating or materials which actively destroywhich come into contact with it. The germination promotion is induced by bile salts. The invention also relates to the use of such materials as a treatment forassociated diseases and toxic megacolon.

Compound for treating clostridium difficile

The present invention is based on the surprising antiseptic nature of chlorhexidine when combined with essential oils. It has been found that chlorhexidine, combined with an essential oil, is surprisingly effective at penetrating the skin surface and providing an antiseptic effect within the skin. It has also been found that a combination of chlorhexidine and eucalyptus oil is surprisingly effective as an antimicrobial against

Antiseptics

The present invention provides an antiseptic composition comprising a germinant and an antimicrobial agent, wherein the germinant increases a pathogen's susceptibility to attack from the antimicrobial agent and wherein the antimicrobial agent does not inhibit the germinant. The present invention also provides an antiseptic wipe, handwash or paint comprising such antiseptic composition and a method of sterilizing a surface using such a composition.
