Nanoparticle-based antibiotic constructs have become a popular area of investigation in the
biomedical sciences. Much of this work has pertained to human diseases, largely in the …

In recent years, the antimicrobial nanofinishing of biomedical textiles has become a very
active, high-growth research field, assuming great importance among all available material …

Abstract Gold (Au0) and silver (Ag0) nanoparticles were synthesized using tannic acid (TA)
as both reducing and stabilizer. Nanoparticles formation, stability, and interaction with TA …

Infectious diseases hold third place in the top 10 causes of death worldwide and were
responsible for more than 6.7 million deaths in 2016. Nanomedicine is a multidisciplinary …

Emerging technologies in antimicrobial coatings can help improve the quality and safety of
our food supply. The goal of this review is to survey the major classes of antimicrobial agents …

The effective sterilisation of any material or device to be implanted in or used in close
contact with the human body is essential for the elimination of harmful agents such as …

A simple procedure to develop antibacterial surfaces using thiol-capped gold nanoparticles
(AuNPs) is shown, which effectively kill bacteria under dark and light conditions. The effect of …

As our knowledge of host-microbial interactions within the oral cavity increases, future
treatments are likely to be more targeted. For example, efforts to target a single species or …

In this work we investigate the effect of spherical and rod-shaped Au nanoparticles (NPs) in
the microstructure, thermomechanical and release properties of thermosensitive κ …

We report the first antimicrobial study of transparent and robust Cu-doped ZnO coatings that
displayed potent antimicrobial activity that resulted in bacterial (Escherichia coli) reduction …
