Abstract
⺠Chitin and chitosan were prepared from shrimp shells. ⺠Antibacterial activity of chitin and chitosan oligomers were assessed. ⺠Chitosan exhibited a bacteriostatic effect on all bacteria tested. ⺠Due to their higher activity, oligomers were more soluble in water. ⺠Chito-oligomers showed advantages as new antimicrobial agents.
