Antibacterial and Antifungal Activity of the Triiodide [Na(12-Crown-4)<sub>2</sub>]I<sub>3</sub> on the Pathogens <em>Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, </em><em>Streptococcus faecalis, </em><em>Bacillus subtilis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans </em>
Abstract:New antibacterial agents are needed to overcome the increasing number of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains. In this context, halogens, especially Iodine is known since ages for its antimicrobial activity. Therefore, especially triiodides encapsulated in organometallic complexes can be helpful as new agents against microorganisms. The aims of this work was to study the biological activity of [Na(12-Crown-4)2]I3 against gram positive Stre… Show more
