The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of several
organic acids and their derivatives against Gram-positive (G+) and Gram-negative (G−) …

The structural relationships of 30 straight-chain fatty acids and derivatives and their
bactericidal properties were studied with 8 gram-negative and 12 grampositive organisms …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents the chemistry and antimicrobial activity of the
saturated straight-chain monocarboxylic acids, and reference is made, where appropriate, to …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials The following antimicrobial agents were used:

The antibacterial activity of the medium chain fatty acids and their 1-monoglycerides was
evaluated towards several Gram-positive strains belonging to the genera Staphylococcus …

The aim of this study was to examine the synergistic bactericidal effects of medium-chain
fatty acids (MCFAs; caprylic, capric, and lauric acid) and organic acids (OAs; acetic, lactic …

Screening tests indicated that Gram positive bacteria are inhibited by long chain fatty acids.
No inhibition was demonstrated with Gram negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory …
