Isopropyl alcohol is an antiseptic and disinfectant used in a variety of clinical and domestic settings. It has disinfectant properties. Isopropyl alcohol is a hydrophilic alcohol that may damage cell membranes and denature proteins that are necessary for microbial growth and metabolism. Chlorhexidine gluconate is a positively charged molecule that binds to the negatively charged cell walls of bacteria. This binding disrupts the cell membrane and causes the cell contents to precipitate.
