Effect of boric acid and calcium ascorbatoborate esters against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

摘要

Antibacterial studies of calcium ascorbatoborate esters (CABEs) – monoesters and diesters – and boric acid against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) highlighted a significant activity. Our study has confirmed and supported the effectiveness of calcium ascorbatoborate diesters (CABDs) and calcium ascorbatoborate monoesters (CABMs) as an antimicrobial coating due to their capacity to suppress the bacterial proliferation. The best in vitro response was found for the CABMs, which exhibited the highest antibacterial activity.
