Chitosan-coated carboxylic acids show antimicrobial activity against antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative and positive pathogens

2022-09-02

Abstract excerpt

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is suggested to be the greatest risk to human health, but new agents are not being brought to market as the rapid evolution of resistance to them means that drug development costs cannot be recouped. Fatty acids have been proposed as a new generation of antibiotics, but toxicity and poor absorption has meant that their use has been impractical in the past. Chitosan has been used t...
