Antimicrobial activity study of some binuclear complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with a new Schiff base (1,3-bis[ortho-(2-carboxy-phenyliminomethyl)-phenoxy]propane)

Abstract

In this work, the antimicrobial activity of some complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with a new Schiff base (1,3-bis[ortho-(2-carboxy-phenyliminomethyl)-phenoxy]propane) tested on five microbial strains, is presented. The antimicrobial activity of the tested compounds was evaluated from a quantitative point of view, as well as the resistance of the microbial biofilms developed on an inert substrate.
