Nano-antibacterial agents represent a new strategy for bacterial treatment. ... Significant differences exist in the antibacterial mechanisms between antibiotics and nano-antibacterial agents.

However, nano-antibacterial agents can kill bacteria through the mechanisms of membrane destruction and oxidative stress response and by the interactions with cytosolic molecules (lipid, proteins ...

Compared with common materials, nanomaterials have a series of excellent properties that make nano-antibacterial agents prepared by nanotechnology have excellent antibacterial effects unmatched by ...

Resilin-based antibacterial nano-coatings can completely block bacteria from attaching to a surface. A collaborative team, led by researchers at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia), has developed ...

TiO₂ nano-fillers are also added to biomaterials to improve antimicrobial performance. 8 In water purification, antimicrobial nanoparticles help remove dyes, heavy metals, and harmful microbes from ...

As antimicrobials, graphene materials (GMs) may have advantages over traditional antibiotics due to their physical mechanisms of action which ensure less chance of development of microbial ...

EVŌQ Nano, a nanoscience company that engineers novel nanoparticles for the life, material, and textile science industries, today announced its antimicrobial medical device platform is ...
