Short communicationAntibacterial properties of water-soluble gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes
Graphical abstract
The antibacterial properties of water-soluble gold(I) complexes and the respective ligands were assessed against Gram-positives and Gram-negative bacteria. The bactericidal activity displayed was comparable to that of AgNO3.
