Abstract
⺠Oligochitosan samples varying in molecular weight (0.73-20.0 kDa) were prepared. ⺠Oligochitosans form supramolecular aggregates in dilute solutions below the critical pH value 6.5. ⺠Bactericidal activity towards MRSA was determined at pH values 5.5-8.0. ⺠The aggregation does not prevent oligochitosan from demonstrating the antibacterial activity. ⺠The samples having Mw 3-5 kDa show high activity even at basic pH values.
