Preparation and antibacterial effects of Ag-SiO2 thin films by sol-gel method.
TLDR
It was found that silver ions were completely trapped in the silica matrix and their reduction could be achieved at 600 degrees C annealing temperature, and the coating films had an excellent antibacterial performance.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the biomaterials technologies for infection-resistant surfaces.
TL;DR: Among the new strategies, the use of phages or of antisense peptide nucleic acids are discussed, as well as the possibility to modulate the local immune response by active cytokines, to contrast the establishment of an implant infection.

Manufactured nanoparticles: An overview of their chemistry, interactions and potential environmental implications
Yon Ju-Nam,Jamie R. Lead +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, an overview of the chemistry of both manufactured and natural aquatic NPs is outlined and key advances related to the characterisation of the manufactured NPs and natural colloids are identified.
Short communication Susceptibility constants of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis to silver and copper nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, the antimicrobial properties of silver and copper nanoparticles against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were evaluated and the results showed that the reaction of silver nanoparticles of 40 nm with E. coli showed the lowest one (Z=0.0236 mL/μg).
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility constants of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis to silver and copper nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Nanoparticle susceptibility constants were defined and used to evaluate the antimicrobial characteristics of silver and copper nanoparticles against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Structures of Novel Antimicrobial Agents for Textiles - A Review
Barbara Simončič,Brigita Tomšič +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed some of the contemporary antimicrobial agents used in textiles, including quaternary ammonium compounds, N-halamines, chitosan, polybiguanides, triclosan, nanoparticles of noble metals and metal oxides, and bioactive plant-based products.

Introduction to Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy
TL;DR: Theoretical analysis of molecular vibrational and rotational spectra has been studied in this paper, with a focus on the Vibrational Origin of Group Frequencies (VIB).
Journal ArticleDOI
A mechanistic study of the antibacterial effect of silver ions on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
TL;DR: The existence of elements of silver and sulfur in the electron-dense granules and cytoplasm detected by X-ray microanalysis suggested the antibacterial mechanism of silver: DNA lost its replication ability and the protein became inactivated after Ag(+) treatment.
Detection prevention and management of urinary tract infections 3rd edition
TL;DR: Books, as a source that may involve the facts, opinion, literature, religion, and many others are the great friends to join with.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial silver-containing silica glass prepared by sol-gel method.
Masakazu Kawashita,S Tsuneyama,Fumiaki Miyaji,Tadashi Kokubo,Hiromitsu Kozuka,Kazumasa Yamamoto +5 more
TL;DR: The sol-gel derived silica glass powders containing silver with compositions Al/Ag > or = 1 are believed to be useful as an antibacterial material for medical applications such as filler of composite resin for dental restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial effects of metal ions (Ag+, Cu2+, Zn2+) in hydroxyapatite.
TL;DR: The bactericidal effect of Ag+ AC suggests that Ag+ dissolved out and reacted with E. coli, thus inhibiting its growth, and it was difficult to ascertain any bactericidal effects in the case of Cu2+ and Zn2+ AC.
