ABSTRACT:
A new class of biologically-active copolymers is provided capable of affecting biological systems in many different ways. The biologically-active copolymers of the present invention also have a wide variety of effects on individual cells. The biologically-active copolymers are also effective against certain microorganisms. The biologically active copolymers of the present invention can be administered to animals to provide specific effects on certain microorganisms that reside in the gut of the animal. A preferred use is administering the biologically active copolymers of the present invention to poultry to reduce the number of Salmonella in the poultry gut. Another preferred use is treatment of surfaces to interfere with the adhesion of microorganisms to the surfaces.
