Abstract Biocompatible Fe 3 O 4/chitosan (CS)/poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)/gentamicin
(Gent) magnetic nanoparticles, namely Fe 3 O 4@ PEG-Gent NPs, have been successfully …

Biofilms contribute to persistent bacterial infections as well as formidable resistances to
conventional antibiotics. However, it is still a major challenge to establish an advanced …

Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) was known to have a much better antimicrobial activity
than chitosan due to the increased cationic–NH 3+ groups resulted from the intra-and …

Despite a lot of research on the antibacterial effect of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, their interactions
with biofilm matrix have not been well understood. The surface charge of nanoparticles …

Background The objective of this research was to prepare some Fe3O4@ SiO2@ Chitosan
(CS) magnetic nanocomposites coupled with nisin, and vancomycin to evaluate their …

Bacterial infection causes wound inflammation and slows wound healing, posing a great
threat to human health, which needs to explore more antibacterial nanobiomaterials to …

Bacteria can increase drug resistance by forming bacterial biofilms. Once the biofilm is
formed, it becomes difficult to remove or kill the related bacteria completely by antibiotics …

Magnetic, antimicrobial-carrying nanoparticles provide a promising, new and direly needed
antimicrobial strategy against infectious bacterial biofilms. Penetration and accumulation of …

Bacteria in biofilms are much more resistant to antibiotics and microbicides as compared to
their planktonic stage. Thus, to achieve the same antibacterial efficacy, a much higher dose …

Because of their magnetic properties, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have numerous
diverse biomedical applications. In addition, because of their ability to penetrate bacteria …
