Insight into membrane selectivity of linear and branched polyethylenimines and their potential as biocides for advanced wound dressings

Insight into membrane selectivity of linear and branched polyethylenimines and their potential as biocides for advanced wound dressings

We report here structure-property relationship between linear and branched polyethylene imines by examining their antimicrobial activities against wide range of pathogens. Both the polymers target the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria and yeasts, eliciting rapid microbicidal properties. Using multisc...
