Mechanisms of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> Disinfection with Benzalkonium Chloride: From Molecular Dynamics to Kinetics of Time-Kill Curves

Mechanisms of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> Disinfection with Benzalkonium Chloride: From Molecular Dynamics to Kinetics of Time-Kill Curves

Unravelling the mechanisms of action of disinfectants is essential to optimise dosing regimes and minimise the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In this work, we examined the mechanisms of action of a commonly used disinfectant—benzalkonium chloride (BAC)—over a significant pathogen—<i>L....
