Structure-activity relationship and membrane-targeting mechanisms of shikimate-related metabolites against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

AIMS: The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has intensified the search for novel antimicrobials. In this context, shikimic acid is a versatile scaffold widely used as a precursor to bioactive compounds and drugs. This study screened the antimicrobial activity and underlying m...
