Tetracoordinate organoborate compounds, such as compounds harboring a tetraarylborate anion or a triarylalkylborate anion, are shown to exhibit a selective bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect against pathogenic Neisseria species such as N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae. Exemplified active compounds include the tetraphenylborate anion (BPh4-) and a cyclic zwitterionic borinic acid ethanolamine ester. The use of such borate compounds for the treatment of pathogenic Neisseria infections is also described.
