Polymer Synergy in Action: Antimicrobial Properties of Chitosan-Alginate Complexes against Diverse Bacterial Strains. International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Archive. 2025 Jun; 16(2): 1-102582 – 6050https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/249901This study investigates the formation and antimicrobial properties of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) made from chitosan with sodium alginate (CS-SA) and CS-carboxylated SA (CS-CMA). The research compares their effectiveness against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, exploring how polymer modifications affect antimicrobial activity.Antimicrobial activitycarboxylated-sodium alginatechitosanGram (?) bacteriaGram (+) bacteriapolyelectrolyte complexessodium alginatezone of inhibitionJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiaDepartment of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, IndiaDepartment of Pharmaceutical Technology, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
