Abstract
New quaternary ammonium polymers, which in a previous work had shown relevant antibacterial properties, have been investigated as regards to their hemolytic activity (HA) in comparison with a low molecular weight commercial antibacterial agent, Steramine G (SG). All polymers exhibit negligible, or at most modest, HA at dosages and contact times at which SG is strongly hemolytic.Keywords
