Due to the emerging bacterial resistance and the protection of tenacious biofilms, it is hard
for the single antibacterial modality to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects nowadays. In …

This review discusses topics relevant to the development of antimicrobial nanocoatings and
nanoscale surface modifications for medical and dental applications. Nanomaterials have …

Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been expected to provide innovative platforms
for addressing antibacterial challenges, with potential to even deal with bacterial infections …

Photothermal therapy (PTT), in which nanoparticles embedded within tumors generate heat
in response to exogenously applied laser light, has been well documented as an …

Clinically, multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria caused by the abuse of antibiotics and the
formation of biofilms are the two major obstacles to the treatment of bacterial infections. The …

Biofilm formed by several pathogenic bacteria results in the development of resistance
against antimicrobial compounds. The polymeric materials present in the biofilm architecture …

Bacterial infection continues to be one of the biggest threats to human health. The
therapeutic effect is significantly reduced as a result of the development of super-bacteria …

The spread of antibiotic resistance and increasing prevalence of biofilm-associated
infections is driving demand for new means to treat bacterial infection. Nanotechnology …

Attachment of bacteria and subsequent formation of biofilms on material surfaces lead to
serious consequences including infection, contamination and biofouling, posing a prominent …

Bacterial infection is still a ticklish clinical challenge even though some advanced
antibacterial materials and techniques have been put forward. This work reports that rapid …
