Alginate films functionalized with silver sulfadiazine-loaded [Mg-Al] layered double hydroxide as antimicrobial wound dressing.
Davi Renato Munhoz,Marcela P. Bernardo,João O.D. Malafatti,Francys K.V. Moreira,Luiz H. C. Mattoso +4 more
TL;DR: A suitable approach for preparing innovative active wound dressing for efficient delivery of drugs is described and samples containing SDZ exhibited inhibitory activity against S. aureus, E. coli, and S. enterica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial chitosan composite films with food-inspired carbon spheres immobilized AgNPs.
TL;DR: In this article, two kinds of green hydrothermal carbonized methods were used to treat sulfhydryl-modified chitosan to obtain two types of carbon spheres/AgNPs (glutinous rice sesameballs-like AgNPs-SMCS and dragon fruit-like SMCS-Ag), which exhibited good stability and high immobilization efficiency for AgNs.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-Triggered Size-Tunable Silver Nanoparticles: Targeted Aggregation for Effective Bacterial Infection Therapy.
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles (Ag-P&C NPs) with pH-sensitive charge reversal and self-aggregation capacities are successfully synthesized and exhibit an excellent performance in killing bacteria, inhibiting plaque biofilms, and ameliorating inflammatory responses.

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.
