β¦ Synopsis
Recent progress in antimicrobial dendrimers is reviewed. Both specific interactions and non-specific interactions can be utilized to design multifunctional (polyvalent) antimicrobial agents, which might be more potent than their mono-functional counterparts. Dendrimers or hyperbranched polymers can also be used to design novel drug delivery systems.
