Since 2004, we have been developing nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties, the so-called nanoantimicrobials. When coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged, started investigating new and challenging routes to nanoantivirals. The two fields some important points of contact. We would like share readership our vision role a (nano)materials scientist can play in fight against COVID-19 pandemic. As researchers specifically working on surfaces nanomaterials, this letter underline...
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities harbor a complex interplay of microbial pathogens. The correct understanding pathogens distribution evolution is therefore crucial for infections control the design effective prevention strategies. In parallel, integration cutting-edge nanotechnologies early detection monitoring these specific target considered most approach to face nosocomial infections. this context, point-of-care (POC) testing, also known as near-patient becoming increasingly...
ESKAPEE pathogens: where we can find them in hospital environments and how to detect through nanotechnologies devices.
Active investment in research time the development and study of novel unconventional antimicrobials is trending for several reasons. First, it one ways which might help to fight antimicrobial resistance bacterial contamination due uncontrolled biofilm growth. Second, minimizing harmful environmental outcomes overuse toxic chemicals highest priorities nowadays. We propose application two common natural compounds, chitosan tannic acid, creation a highly crosslinked polymer blend with not only...
Thin self-standing films with potential antimicrobial synergistic activity have been produced by a simple green chemical synthesis overnight thermal treatment. Their properties studied scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and other techniques to understand their range of applications. In this work, the focus was set on development novel effective alternative conventional materials. By creating an polymer blend, using it develop immobilize fine (~25 nm) silver...
<p>Chitosan (CS), a natural non-toxic polysaccharide, shows intrinsic antimicrobial activity against wide range of pathogens. CS and CS-based biomaterials can be effective additives in food medicine-related industries to inhibit growth The application inorganic nanophases, such as metal oxide nanoparticles, has received attention due their broad pronounced activity. Upon combination with CS, which act stabilizer, active robust synergistic nanoantimicrobial (NAM) systems...
