In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method to prevent or inhibit proliferation, growth and formation, or survival of protozoans, bacteria, or fungal cells. In some embodiments, the method includes administering a composition including a synthetic lysine analog, derivative, mimetic, or prodmg. In some embodiments, the synthetic lysine analog, derivative, mimetic, or prodmg interacts with the protozoans, bacteria, or fungal cells to prevent or inhibit proliferation, growth and formation, or survival of the protozoans, bacteria, or fungal cells. In an additional embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a composition to prevent or inhibit proliferation, growth and formation, or survival of protozoans, bacteria, or fungal cells. In some embodiments, the composition includes a synthetic lysine analog, derivative, mimetic, or prodrug.
