The antimicrobial activity of one 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (HPO) hexadentate (1) and three HPO hexadentate-based dendrimeric chelators (2-4) was evaluated. They were found to exhibit marked inhibitory effect on the growth of two Gram-positive bacteria and two Gram-negative bacteria. The combination treatment
