Proguanil has been found to have rapid and effective killing activity against a variety of disease-causing micro organisms. For example, when applied topically, proguanil is particularly effective against Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria that causes acne; Corynebacterium minutissimum, a bacteria that causes erythrasma, Gardnerella vaginalis, a bacteria that causes vaginosis; Trichomonas vaginalis, a protozoan that causes trichomoniasis and C. albicans, a fungus (a form of yeast). |
