Listeria monocytogenes Strains Selected on Ciprofloxacin or the Disinfectant Benzalkonium Chloride Exhibit Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin, Benzalkonium Chloride, and Other Toxic Compounds [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a leading agent for severe food-borne illness and death in the United States and other nations. Even though drug resistance has not yet threatened therapeutic interventions for listeriosis, selective pressure associated with exposure to antibiotics and disinfectants may result in ...

A New Sustainable Approach to Antibiotic Resistance: Development of bis-Quaternary Ammonium Salts From 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-Triazine. [PDF]
ChemMedChemAntibiotics improved human life, but bacterial resistance makes surfaces and packaging disinfection critical. Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) represent a possible alternative. In this work, new bis‐cationic QAS from 2,4,6‐trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine (bis‐TQAS) were synthesized, showing excellent inhibition against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli ...

Comparative Evaluation of the Effects of Binzalkonium Chloride, Iodine, Gluteraldehyde and Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfectants against Avian Salmonellae Focusing on Genotypic Resistance Pattern of the Salmonellae Serotypes toward Benzalkonium Chloride [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2020 Using disinfectants in poultry houses is a common practice to ban the zoonotic pathogens like Salmonella. A major concern in using disinfectants is the emergence of bacteria strains that resist some disinfectants.
