Triclocarban, with the chemical formula C13H9Cl3N2O [L2675] is an antibacterial agent that is particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as *Staphylococcus aureus*. It is a bacteriostatic compound that has been found in antibacterial soaps and other personal care products. In 2017, the US FDA prohibited the marketing of over-the-counter (OTC) consumer antiseptic wash products containing triclocarban due to negative health effects such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects [L2672], [L2673].
