Lipids such as fatty alcohols, free fatty acids and monoglycerides of fatty acids are known to
be potent antimicrobial/microbicidal agents in vitro and to kill enveloped viruses, Gram …

Lipids and essential oils have strong antimicrobial properties—they kill or inhibit the growth
of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses. They are being studied for use in the …

Lipids in fresh human milk do not inactivate viruses but become antiviral after storage of the
milk for a few days at 4 or 23 degrees C. The appearance of antiviral activity depends on …

The susceptibility of Candida albicans to several fatty acids and their 1-monoglycerides was
tested with a short inactivation time, and ultrathin sections were studied by transmission …

The susceptibilities of three Gram‐positive cocci to medium‐chain saturated and long‐chain
unsaturated fatty acids and their one‐monoglycerides were studied. The bacteria were …

Antimicrobial lipids are found in mucosal secretions and are one of a number of
nonimmunologic and nonspecific protective factors found at mucosal surfaces. Lipids can …

The antichlamydial effects of several fatty acids and monoglycerides were studied by
incubating Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria with equal volumes of lipid solutions for 10 min …

Lipids previously shown to have antiviral and antibacterial activity in buffers were added to
human milk, bovine milk, and infant formulas to determine whether increased protection from …

The susceptibility of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori to fatty acids
and monoglycerides was studied. None of the lipids showed significant antibacterial activity …

Of 11 fatty acids and monoglycerides tested against Campylobacter jejuni, the 1-
monoglyceride of capric acid (monocaprin) was the most active in killing the bacterium …
