Besides their positive role, microorganisms are related to a number of undesirable effects, including many diseases, biodeterioration and food spoilage, so when their presence is undesired, they must be controlled. Numerous biocides limiting the development of microorganisms have been proposed, however, in this paper the biocidal and inhibitory activity of quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) and their zwitterionic derivatives is addressed. This paper presents the current state of knowledge about the biocidal activity of QAS and their derivatives. Moreover, the known mechanisms of antimicrobial activity and the problem of emerging resistance to QAS are discussed. The latest trends in the study of surfactants and their potential use are also presented.

Abstract N,N-Dialkyl Ammonium Salts of Saturated Heterocyclic Amines, Antimicrobial Activity Antimicrobial activity of N-alkyl-N-dodecylpiperidinium bromides and N-ethyl-N-dodecylheterocycloalkyl ammonium bromides (pyrrolidine, morpholine, perhydroazepine) deter­ mined on grampositive and gramnegative bacteria, yeasts and moulds, presented as minimum inhibition concentration (MIC). Comparison of the effect of change of structure: lenghtening of alkyl chain, change of heterocyclic ring. Change in the lenght of alkyl chain markedly affects the antimicrobial activity, change of heterocyclic ring has no substantial effect. The most active compounds were N-heptyl-and N-hexyl-N-dodecylpiperidinium bromides.

To develop the potential use of adamantane derivatives in surfactant field, the adamantyl residue was introduced into the quaternary ammonium salt. The method involved synthesizing N-(1-adamantyl)-N, N-dimethylamine from 1-adamantine and quaternizing with different alkylating agents. Eight adamantane-containing quaternary ammonium salts were prepared and their structures were identified by1H NMR and IR.
