Membrane potential-dependent uptake of cationic oligoimidazolium mediates bacterial DNA damage and death

The treatment of bacterial infections is becoming increasingly challenging with the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Thus, the development of antimicrobials with novel mechanisms of action is much needed. Previously, we designed several cationic main-chain imidazolium compounds and identified...
