Bactericide delivery system containing the phosphorylated polysaccharide as carrier material

Abstract

To effectively exploit the properties of antibacterial agents, we synthesized phosphorylated polysaccharides as the carrier for bactericide delivery. It was indicated that 0.01% phosphorylated pullulan and 0.01% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) consistently exhibited an antibacterial effect, even after rinsing with distilled water, although CPC at a concentration of 10% showed no effect on bacterial growth after slight rinsing.
