First Claim
Patent Images
1. A microbiocidal composition comprising a microbiocidally-active combination of a biguanide compound microbiocidally active against bacteria and from about 10 to about 10,000 ppm of a C6 - C18 -alkyl glycoside in a non-microbiocidally-active amount which is sufficient to potentiate the microbiocidal activity of said biguanide.

Abstract
Alkyl glycosides are used to greatly increase the microbicidal activity of biguanide compounds, such as chlorhexidine salts. The alkyl glycoside/biguanide agents have a particular utility in teeth cleaning preparations due to their improved microbicidal activity against gram-positive bacteria.
