Antimicrobial Activity via Zinc Ion
- Molecular classification
- Metal ion, Inorganic antimicrobial agent
01
Overview
The "antimicrobial activity via zinc ion" refers primarily to the direct biocidal effects exerted by free or released Zn²⁺ on microorganisms through multiple cellular disruptions—most notably enzyme inhibition leading to oxidative stress—and is being actively developed into advanced therapeutic strategies using nanotechnology for targeted infection control applications.
