Article Synopsis
- Infectious diseases place a significant strain on global healthcare systems, with pathogenic bacteria evolving antibiotic resistance and biofilms aiding their survival.
- In this study, silver nanoparticles were enhanced with polymyxin B to create a more effective antibacterial agent, showing about three times greater effectiveness against resistant strains of bacteria compared to standard nanoparticles.
- The biofunctionalized nanoparticles not only demonstrated superior antibacterial activity and prevented biofilm formation, but also proved effective in removing 97% of endotoxins from solutions, highlighting their potential to improve infection control strategies.
