| Abstract: | Summary Growth and survival ofStaphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa., Klebsiella pneumoniae andAspergillus niger were reduced by a low-solubility polysubstituted.-quaternary amine complex (InterseptR) processed into the matrices of ethylene vinyl acetate, polystyrene and polyethylene., Recoveries of challenge microorganisms from agar film overlays and determination of the effects of the complex on radiolabelled-leucine transport by adhered cells and bacterial biofilms were more suitable for assessing inhibitory efficacies than standard agar diffusion or serial dilution procedures. |
