Physical Action of Surface-active Cations upon Bacteria

Physical Action of Surface-active Cations upon Bacteria.

The Antibacterial Action of Surface Active Cations.

The antibacterial action of surface-active cations was reported by Hartmann and Kiigi (1928) on the basis of observations made by Doerr. Domagk (1935) gave a detailed description of the bacteriological properties of a very potent member of this group. Notwithstanding the considerable attention which these discoveries aroused, as shown by the number of investigations reported in the literature, ...

Mechanism of action and neutralizing agents for surface-active materials upon microorganisms.

Survivor Curves of Bacteria Exposed to Surface-active Agents.

Reports on bacterial death studies since the basic work of Kronig and Paul (1896) have generally recognized that the death process of bacteria exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions follows a uniform and consistent course. The constancy of the rate of death is the outstanding feature; the term, "constant death rate," means that the number of bacteria that die per time unit is a constan...
