Polysorbate 20 and Polysorbate 80 have shown activity in contrast to the biotype Escherichia coli o104: H4, the most deadly of ever reported Escherichia coli (1).

It is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in the formulation of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, but can gradually degrade in aqueous solution over time through different routes and lose the surfactant functions that lead to protein aggregation (2).

It is also often included in the formulation for therapeutic proteins to reduce protein aggregation and surface absorption (3).
