TL;DR: The mechanism of antibacterial activity of glutathione (GSH) coated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on model Gram negative and Gram positive bacterial strains is studied, showing that the action is reduced because of GSH coating and the limitation of the translational freedom of NPs.

TL;DR: A simple procedure to produce biomimetically coated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), based on the postfunctionalization and purification of colloidal silver stabilized by citrate is described.

TL;DR: A two-step, easy synthetic strategy in solution has been optimized to prepare authentic monolayers of silver nanoparticles (NP) on MPTS-modified glass surfaces, that were investigated by AFM imaging and by quantitative silver determination techniques.

TL;DR: Olive oil, which is characterized by a high content of oleic acid, proved to exert a synergic effect with eucalyptus oil with respect to antimicrobial activity and wound repair promotion, which evidenced the capability of these NLC to enhance the healing process.

TL;DR: Findings show that wine is active against oral streptococci and S. pyogenes and suggest that it enhances oral health, and synthetic mixtures of the organic acids tested at the concentrations found in wine had greater antibacterial activity than the beverages, indicating that in wine they are inhibited by other components.
