Exploring the Antimicrobial Action of Quaternary Amines against <italic toggle="yes">Acinetobacter baumannii</italic>

ABSTRACT Quaternary amine compounds (QAC) are potent antimicrobials used to prevent the spread of pathogenic bacteria. While they are known for their membrane-damaging properties, QAC action has been suggested to extend beyond the surface to intracellular targets. Here we characterize the range of a...
