Abstract

We determine the efficacy for three known structurally related, membrane active detergents against multidrug resistant and wild type strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Accessible solution state NMR experiments are used to quantify phospholipid headgroup composition of the microbial membranes and to gain molecular level insight into antimicrobial mode of action.
