Abstract
The antibacterial activity of metal ions, metal chelates, and molecules with chelating ability for polyvalent cations have been evaluated. The chelator N, N'-ethylenebis[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-glycine] (EHPG) exerted moderate-to-good activity against isolates of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Other chelating agents such as ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA) revealed weak-to-moderate activity. Metal chelation of ligands reduced the activity of EDTA and DTPA. Copyright 2001 S. Karger AG, BaselEntities:
