Deskripsi

Antibiotic resistance is a major issue in medicine and new antimicrobials for treating resistant infection are needed. Here, the authors report on antibacterial peptoid polymers, prepared via NNCA ring-opening polymerization, demonstrating antibacterial function against MRSA in vitro and in in vivo infection models.
