Unexpected Enhancement of Antimicrobial Polymer Activity against Staphylococcus aureus in the Presence of Fetal Bovine Serum
Cationic and amphiphilic polymers are known sten jacket m to exert broad-spectrum antibacterial activity by a putative mechanism of membrane disruption.Typically, nonspecific binding to hydrophobic components of the complex biological milieu, such as globular proteins, is considered a deterrent to the successful application of such polymers.To eval
