, which is commonly found in hospitals, has become a major problem in infection control. In this study, Ag/80S bioactive ceramics used for enhanced antibacterial applications have been developed. An in vitro bioactivity test of the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic powders was performed in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). To explore the antibacterial activity of the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic powders, the Kirby-Bauer susceptibility test, the kinetics of microbial growth analysis and the colony-forming capacity assay were used to determine their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against methicillin-resistant (MRSA). The results confirmed that the Ag/80S bioactive ceramic powders have antibacterial activity against MRSA (ATCC 33592) and MRSA (ATCC 49476).

In 2017 the World Health Organization listed carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae as a critical priority for developing a novel antimicrobial agent. Here we report on our investigation of the antibacterial efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), confined to a mesostructured material and designated as an Ag/80S bioactive nanocomposite, against carbapenem-resistant K.
