Abstract:In this study, we sought to synthesize chitosan nanoparticles (CS‐NPs) and characterize their morphology, efficacy in inhibiting bacterial attachment, and efficacy in eradicating bacteria established on implantable hardware. CS‐NPs possess desirable properties, including antibacterial properties in biofilm‐mediated infections. CS‐NPs were produced using ionic gelation and characterized via scanning electron microscope imaging. Staphylococcus aureus was incubated with CS‐NPs at various concentrations and compar… Show more
“…Thus, they can potentially prevent and treat musculoskeletal infections. 61 In a study, modified chitosan nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbonized chitosan nanoparticles (NPCNs) were prepared to clear intracellular S. aureus infection. The results indicate that NPCNs can be used as a fluorescent probe for bacteria imaging and kill extracellular and intracellular bacteria with low cytotoxicity.…”
