Abstract:In recent years, resistance to antimicrobials has become a global problem. Despite the need for new antibiotics with the increase of resistant bacteria, developing new antimicrobials is problematic. Biofilms formed by microorganisms play an essential role in the development of resistance. We aimed to investigate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. In this study, previously synthesized and characterized NHC complexes on standard bacterial and fungal strains we… Show more
