Polymeric Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Therapies: An Up-To-Date Overview.
Vera Alexandra Spirescu,Cristina Chircov,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Ecaterina Andronescu +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an up-to-date overview of the most recent studies investigating polymeric nanoparticles designed for antimicrobial therapies, describing both their targeting strategies and their effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inorganic Nanoparticles and Composite Films for Antimicrobial Therapies.
Vera Alexandra Spirescu,Cristina Chircov,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Bogdan Ștefan Vasile,Ecaterina Andronescu +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an up-to-date overview of the most recent studies investigating inorganic NPs and their integration into composite films designed for antimicrobial therapies is provided, which can be incorporated or attached to organic/inorganic films, thus broadening their application within implant or catheter coatings and wound dressings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-Biofilm Coatings Based on Chitosan and Lysozyme Functionalized Magnetite Nanoparticles.
Vera Alexandra Spirescu,Adelina-Gabriela Niculescu,Ștefan Slave,Alexandra Cătălina Bîrcă,G. Dorcioman,Valentina Grumezescu,Alina Maria Holban,Ovidiu-Cristian Oprea,Bogdan Ștefan Vasile,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Ionela Cristina Nica,Miruna Silvia Stan,Ecaterina Andronescu +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) were functionalized with chitosan (CS) and were blended with Lysozyme (LyZ) to produce biofilm resistant surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm-Resistant Nanocoatings Based on ZnO Nanoparticles and Linalool.
Vera Alexandra Spirescu,Raluca Șuhan,Adelina-Gabriela Niculescu,Valentina Grumezescu,Irina Negut,Alina Maria Holban,Ovidiu-Cristian Oprea,Alexandra Cătălina Bîrcă,Bogdan Ștefan Vasile,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Ludovic Everard Bejenaru,George Dan Mogoşanu,Cornelia Bejenaru,Paul Cătălin Balaure,Ecaterina Andronescu,Laurenţiu Mogoantă +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the capacity of nanostructured surfaces based on zinc oxide (ZnO) and biologically active molecules to modulate clinically relevant microbial biofilms was evaluated.
Journal Article
In vitro and in vivo applications of 3D dendritic gold nanostructures.
Alexandra Bolocan,Dan Eduard Mihaiescu,Alina Raluca Meşterca,Vera Alexandra Spirescu,Eliza Maria Tote,Laurenţiu Mogoantă,George Dan Mogoşanu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu +7 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on a new class of materials - three-dimensional (3D) dendritic gold nanostructures - and their potential in vivo and in vitro application and combines the therapeutic properties of AuNPs with dendrimer's reactivity and biological membrane crossing ability.
