Real-Time Observation of Antimicrobial Polycation Effects on Escherichia coli : Adapting the Carpet Model for Membrane Disruption to Quaternary Copolyoxetanes

Real-time atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for analyzing effects of the antimicrobial polycation copolyoxetane P[(C12)-(ME2Ox)-50/50], C12-50 on the membrane of a model bacterium, Escherichia coli (ATCC# 35218). AFM imaging showed cell membrane changes with increasing C12-50 concentration and...
