Antimicrobial resistance and increasing healthcare costs have inspired researchers to create innovative and effective antimicrobial therapies. Much focus has been placed upon 'nanoparticle-based ...

Virus-built silver nanoparticles kill drug-resistant bacteria at ultra-low doses and slow resistance development by 10-fold.

In a recent study published in Polymers, researchers synthesized and evaluated a silver and polyurethane nanocomposite surface coating material that exhibits antiviral activity against severe acute ...

Silver nanoparticles have a wide array of uses, one of which is to treat drinking water for harmful bacteria and viruses. But do silver nanoparticles also kill off potentially beneficial bacteria or ...

Since silver nanoparticles act through multiple pathways, they appear to be a promising approach to combat AMR, as bacteria cannot easily develop strategies to counter all their effects. However, ...
