The theory that, in positively charged molecules, longer side chains act as a lancet leading to bacterial disruption remains unproved. Given the flexibility and size of the chain compared with the thickness of the bacterial cell wall, the aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism through which the combination of chain-length and charge in QAM-containing materials affects biofilm inhibition.
