Antibacterial activity and corrosion resistance of Ta2O5 thin film and electrospun PCL/MgO-Ag nanofiber coatings on biodegradable Mg alloy implants
Hamid Reza Bakhsheshi-Rad,Hamid Reza Bakhsheshi-Rad,Hamid Reza Bakhsheshi-Rad,Ahmad Fauzi Ismail,Madzlan Aziz,Zhina Hadisi,M. Omidi,Xiongbiao Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, functional Ta2O5 (tantalum pentoxide) compact layers and PCL/MgO-Ag (poly (e-caprolactone)/magnesium oxide-silver) nanofiber porous layers were subsequently deposited on Mg alloys via reactive magnetron sputtering and electrospinning, respectively, to improve anticorrosion and antibacterial performance.

Jacqueline R. Fanti,Fernanda Tomiotto-Pellissier,Milena Menegazzo Miranda-Sapla,Allan Henrique Depieri Cataneo,Célia Guadalupe Tardeli de Jesus Andrade,Carolina Panis,Jean Henrique da Silva Rodrigues,Pryscilla Fanini Wowk,Diogo Kuczera,Idessania Nazareth Costa,Celso Vataru Nakamura,Gerson Nakazato,Nelson Durán,Wander Rogério Pavanelli,Ivete Conchon-Costa +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AgNp-bio had a direct effect against L. amazonensis forms and acted on immunomodulatory ability of infected macrophages, reducing the infection without inducing the synthesis of inflammatory mediators, which continuous stimulation can generate and aggravate leishmaniotic lesions.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
