Abstract
The susceptibility of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori to
fatty acids and monoglycerides was studied. None of the lipids showed significant
antibacterial activity against Salmonella spp. and E. coli but eight of 12 lipids
tested showed high activity against H. pylori, monocaprin and monolaurin being the
most active. The high activity of monoglycerides against H. pylori suggests that they
may be useful as active ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations.
