Abstract excerpt
Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) benzalkonium (BZK) and cetrimide (CET) are common disinfectants used to inhibit or eradicate Gram-negative bacteria in clinical and agricultural products. QAC tolerance in Escherichia coli and other Enterobacterales species can confer cross-resistance to various clinically used antibiotics, making it important to understand mechanisms of QAC tolerance in greater depth. QAC ada...
