Abstract:Infections associated with antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria now represent a significant threat to human health using conventional therapy. Since AMR bacterial infections are poised to overtake cancer as the main cause of death by 2050, scientists are exploring the efficacy of novel antimicrobial strategies, such as use of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to combat infections. Whilst Ag NPs may hold therapeutic promise, their mode of action on the bacteria remains to be elucidated. In this study, lysozyme co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
