Among the BACs reported to date, benzyl dimethyl dodecyl ammonium chloride (BAC 12 ), benzyl dimethyl tetradecyl ammonium chloride (BAC 14 ), and benzyl dimethyl hexadecyl ammonium chloride (BAC 16 ) have been widely used because of their high bioavailability [ 4 ]. (eeer.org)
Here, the results showed that benzyl dodecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDBAC) and didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) significantly promoted plasmid RP4-mediated ARGs transfer within and across genera at environmental relevant concentrations (0.0004-0.4 mg/L). Low concentrations of QACs did not contribute to the permeability of the cell plasma membrane, but significantly increased the permeability of the cell outer membrane due to the decrease in content of lipopolysaccharides.

Benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) are well-known QACs. (eeer.org)
During the pandemic of COVID-19, the amounts of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) used to inactivate the virus in public facilities, hospitals and households increased, which raised concerns about the evolution and transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). (bvsalud.org)
Polycations such as quaternary ammonium, quaternary phosphonium, and guanidinium are frequently found in antimicrobial polymers. (wikipedia.org)
Polymers may be chemically modified to induce antimicrobial behavior or they may be used as a backbone for the addition of organic or inorganic compounds. (wikipedia.org)
Compounds such as EDTA have multiple functions, acting as a buffer for free divalents and preventing their buildup in the cornea, while also enhancing the antimicrobial action of other preservatives. (reviewofophthalmology.com)
Disinfectants2
Quaternary ammonium compounds are the active ingredients in disinfectants and sanitizers for homes, farms, hospitals, offices and public transportation vehicles. (inchem.org)
Because disinfectants have been essential during the COVID-19 pandemic, the global demand for benzalkonium chlorides (BACs) has significantly increased. (eeer.org)
Surfactants2
The theory is supported by the results of the author's experimental studies of the effects exerted by some chemical pollutants including synthetic surfactants, detergents, and other xenobiotics on aquatic organisms. (scholar.ru)
