The widespread use of antibacterial products and over prescription of traditional antibiotics has lead to a decrease in their effectiveness and a increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria. There is a need for new antibiotics and my research will focus on testing antibiotic activity of three novel N,N’-bis-substituted 1,2,4-triazolium salts with cyclic substituents. These salts were synthesized here at CSU and will be tested for antibiotic effects against <i>Escherichia coli</i>. The bis(naphthylmethyl)triazolium salt will be compared to the analogous imidazolium and benzimidazolium salts.
