Nickel chelation therapy as an approach to combat multi-drug resistant enteric pathogens
Abstract The nickel (Ni)-specific chelator dimethylglyoxime (DMG) has been used for many years to detect, quantitate or decrease Ni levels in various environments. Addition of DMG at millimolar levels has a bacteriostatic effect on some enteric pathogens, including multidrug resistant (MDR) strains...
