Preferred Label : Quaternary Ammonium Polyethylenimine Nanoparticles;
NCIt synonyms : QA-PEI Nanoparticles;
NCIt definition : A crosslinked nanoparticle formulation containing quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine
(QA-PEI) with potential antibacterial activity. The cationic polymer PEI kills bacteria
by rupturing their cell membranes without the development of resistance. Quaternary
ammonium polyethylenimine nanoparticles can be incorporated into dental composite
resins or silicon obturator prostheses and may prevent or delay bacterial growth.;
