Gemini surfactants consist of two cationic monomers of a surfactant linked together with a
spacer. The specific structure of a cationic gemini surfactant is the reason for both its high …

Bacterial infections have seriously threatened public health especially with the increasing
resistance and the cliff-like decline of the number of newly approved antibacterial agents …

Besides their positive role, microorganisms are related to a number of undesirable effects,
including many diseases, biodeterioration and food spoilage, so when their presence is …

Quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) are ubiquitous in nature, being found in organisms
ranging from microorganisms to vertebrates (eg, glycine betaine, carnitine) where they have …

Drug resistance occurrence is a global healthcare concern responsible for the increased
morbidity and mortality in hospitals, time of hospitalisation and huge financial loss. The …

Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), as the surface active compounds, are widely used in
medicine and industry. Their common application is responsible for the development of …

SRB is one of the main bacteria causing marine microbial corrosion. In order to reduce the
loss of microbial corrosion, a Gemini surfactant (12-B-12) containing semi-rigid spacer was …

Geminicationic surfactants are compounds which are composed of two hydrophilic head
groups and two hydrophobic tails linked by a spacer at the head groups or closed to them …
