whether use of Chlorhexidine alcohol-based hand rub (CHG-AHR) is favored for controlling MDROs

[Sony SO]

Dear All,

My raised question is whether use of Chlorhexidine ABHR (CHG-ABHR) is favored for controlling Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) because CHG has residue antimicrobial activity when compare to use of Just-Alcohol ABHR during MDROs outbreak.

Cheers.
