ABSTRACT

The organic salt triethyl-n-hexylammonium triethyl-n-hexylboride (N₂₂₂₆B₂₂₂₆) has biostatic effects against two gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus, and the yeast Candida albicans. Escherichia coli and chicken embryo fibroblasts grown in tissue culture are more refractory to this compound.
