In this chapter, we present the need for and development of metallosurfactants as novel antimicrobial agents. These are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi and are thus referred to as broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Also, as these metallosurfactants possess detergent-like properties (being amphiphilic), these can be used as cleansing agents by just dissolving them in water.

摘要

In this chapter, we present the need for and development of metallosurfactants as novel antimicrobial agents. These are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi and are thus referred to as broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents. Also, as these metallosurfactants possess detergent-like properties (being amphiphilic), these can be used as cleansing agents by just dissolving them in water.
