COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING BIOFILMS

摘要

This invention relates to substituted 2-aminoimidazoles and their imidazo[1,2- a]pyrimidinium salts precursors being active against biofilm formation. The present invention also relates to antimicrobial compositions comprising a microbial biofilm formation inhibiting amount of such substituted 2-aminoimidazoles or imidazo[1,2- a]pyrimidinium salts in combination with excipients. The present invention also relates to methods for inhibiting or controlling microbial biofilm formation in a plant, a body part of a human or an animal, or a surface with which a human or an animal may come into contact.
