Chitosan on the surface of nanoparticles for enhanced drug delivery: A comprehensive review.
TL;DR: The ability of chitosan (CTS) to promote muco-adhesion, trigger positive/negative surface interactions, and open tight junctions has inspired researchers to coat lipid-based and polymeric-based nanoparticles with CTS in an attempt to reach new heights in the delivery of drugs and nutraceuticals across different routes as mentioned in this paper .

Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Results show that chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria tested and exposed to S. choleraesuis led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
