Conjugated oligoelectrolytes
Conjugated oligoelectrolytes, or COEs, are a class of synthetic antimicrobials designed to prevent and circumvent antimicrobial resistance via different mechanism of action than traditional antibiotics.[1][2] COEs insert into cell membranes and can function as electron transporters, but were found to inhibit bacterial growth. They can also be used for tracking the progress of tumor growth.[3]
