Imidazolium, pyridinium and pyrazinium based ionic liquids with octyl side chains as potential antibacterial agents against multidrug resistant uropathogenic <i>E. coli</i>.

ABSTRACT: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most prevalent infectious disease with E. coli being the most common etiological agent behind these infections, affecting more than 150 million people globally each year. In recent decades, the emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens has rapidly escalated. To combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), it is important to synthesize new biologically effective alternatives like ionic liquids (ILs) to control the bacterial infection and their spread. Ionic liquids are poorly coordinated organic salts characterized by melting points typically below 100 °C. The ability of ILs to form anionic and cationic interactions contributes to their versatile chemical, physical and biological attributes. In the present study, a total of 9 previousl
