Article Synopsis
- The study compares the antibacterial effects of copper-amino acid chelates with copper nanoparticles against specific bacteria, showing that the chelates have strong antimicrobial properties.
- Copper-amino acids chelates were synthesized using soybean extract, while nanoparticles were derived from these chelates; both were tested using the microdilution method for their antibacterial effectiveness.
- Results indicate that copper-amino acid chelates outperform traditional copper sources in specific applications, suggesting their potential for targeted use in combating bacterial infections.
Aim: Infections associated with medical devices are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Microorganisms are responsible for catheter infections that may then result in the local or systemic dissemination of the microorganism into the bloodstream. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) embedded in polyurethane plastics, commonly used for catheter fabrication.
