Ans: Chlorhexidine gluconate is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. At 4% strength, it has documented activity against skin pathogens including Malassezia pachydermatis, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, and dermatophytes commonly involved in pet skin infections, hot spots, and superficial bacterial dermatitis.

Q3: What is TrizEDTA, and why is it included?
