“…Methacrylates with QA groups include monomethacrylates (mono-QAMs) [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ] and dimethacrylates (di-QAMs) [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. Mono-QAMs such as 12-methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide [ 15 ], and N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) derivatives with bromide [ 16 , 17 ], iodide [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], or chloride [ 21 ] counter ions were the first to be obtained. DCRMs modified with the above mono-QAMs showed high antibacterial activity against many strains of bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans , Actinomyces viscosus , and Lactobacillus casei [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
