Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are promising bactericidal agents and plasmonic NPs for
environmental applications, owing to their various favorable properties. For example, AgNPs …

Microbial biofilms are ubiquitous. In marine and freshwater ecosystems, microbe–mineral
interactions sustain biogeochemical cycles, while biofilms found on plants and animals can …

Abstract A NiCo 2 O 4-Au composite was fabricated following the calcination-reduction
method and testified to exhibit the intrinsic high peroxidase-and oxidase-like activities. The …

Background Treatment of bacterial biofilms are difficult and in many cases, expensive.
Bacterial biofilms are naturally more resilient to antimicrobial agents than their free-living …

The decline of clinically effective antibiotics has made it necessary to develop more effective
antimicrobial agents, especially for refractory biofilm-related infections. Silver nanoparticles …

Biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) are increasingly recognized as an antibiofilm and
antivirulence strategy against P. aeruginosa, a bacterium that causes chronic infections in …

Bacterial infection raises serious concerns in tissue repair settings involved with implantable
biomaterials, devastating the regenerative process and even life-threatening. When hard …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a widely prevalent opportunistic pathogen. Multiple
resistant strains of PA have emerged from excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics …

The release of silver nanomaterials (AgNMs) from extensive use poses potential risks to
human health and ecological environments. Although previous studies have reported the …

While the antibacterial potency of metal and metal oxide engineered nanomaterials (MMO
ENMs) has been well-established in the literature, the underlying mechanisms of …
