“…Cavanagh et al [89] analyzed 6 different silver dressings on market and only two of them showed bactericidal activity against S. aureus. Apart from that, silver dressing may be related with increased serum silver levels with an associated decrease on white blood cells [90]. This leads us to conclude that the delivery system of the antimicrobial is very important.…”

“…It is important to note that all of these patients experienced a decline in their white blood cell counts in comparison to their baseline levels. Therefore, if acute leukopenia or elevated ASL/AST is observed, it is recommended to measure serum silver levels to rule out silver toxicity [17,18].…”

Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are examples of severe cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs (SCARs) with several international recommendations for global medical management, ranging from pharmacological systemic therapy to skin wound care. There is no defined best management of the skin wounds in SJS/TEN. The care of wounds is essential to initiate re-epithelialization. Our objective is to improve the cicatrization process, avoiding scarring due to deepening of the wounds, as well as prevent infections, achieve pain control, and avoid loss of serum proteins, fluids, and electrolytes. In this retrospective case series, we highlight the value of systemic therapy and the use of silver nitrate for wound management in four patients with TEN.

“…It consists of the creation of a bacteria cell wall to resist the adhesion of bacteria or to kill bacteria by chemical or physical changes [87][88][89][90][91]. This technique is classified in three categories: surface resisting the bacteria attachment (Figure 3a) using the photoactivation process for example [90], surface leaching antibacterial agents (Figure 3b) called intrinsically antimicrobial ability [91], and surface killing or delivery bacteria by contact using antimicrobial loading (Figure 3c), based on the coating technology [92] or incorporation process [93]. The mechanisms of surface reaction were detailed in [94] and illustrated in Figure 4.…”

Sterilization methods for individuals and facilities are extremely important to enable human beings to continue the basic tasks of life and to enable safe and continuous interaction of citizens in society when outbreaks of viral pandemics such as the coronavirus. Sterilization methods, their availability in gatherings, and the efficiency of their work are among the important means to contain the spread of viruses and epidemics and enable societies to practice their activities almost naturally. Despite the effective solutions given by traditional methods of surface disinfection, modern nanotechnology has proven to be an emergent innovation to protect against viruses. On this note, recent scientific breakthroughs have highlighted the ability of nanospray technology to attach to air atoms in terms of size and time-period of existence as a sterilizer for renewed air in large areas for human gatherings. Despite the ability of this method to control the outbreak of infections, the mutation of bactericidal mechanisms presents a great issue for scientists. In recent years, science has explored a more performant approach and techniques based on a surface-resistance concept. The most emergent is the self-defensive antimicrobial known as the self-disinfection surface. It consists of the creation of a bacteria cell wall to resist the adhesion of bacteria or to kill bacteria by chemical or physical changes. Besides, plasma-mediated virus inactivation was shown as a clean, effective, and human healthy solution for surface disinfection. The purpose of this article is to deepen the discussion on the threat of traditional methods of surface disinfection and to assess the state of the art and potential solutions using emergent nanotechnology.
