Full Text

Abstract

Chitosan biopolymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin has antibacterial and antimycotic action. Known data about mechanisms of biocide effect of chitosan are described in the review. Role of chemical structure — molecular weight, level of deacetylation and presence of nanoparticles — in the expression of antibacterial and antimycotic activity is discussed.
