Innovative antibacterial, photocatalytic, titanium dioxide microstructured surf...
Vieira, Ana; Rodríguez-Lorenzo, Laura; Leonor, I. B.; Reis, R. L.; Espiña, Begoña; Santos, Marília Barreiros dosBacterial colonization and biofilm formation are found on nearly all wet surfaces, representing a serious problem for both human healthcare and industrial applications, where traditional treatments may not be effective. Herein, we describe a synergistic approach for improving the performance of antibacterial surfaces based on microstructured surfaces that embed titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). The sur...
Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of chitosan nanoparticles against List...
Pereira, Sara G.; Costa-Ribeiro, Ana; Teixeira, Pilar; Rodríguez-Lorenzo, Laura; Prado, Marta; Cerqueira, Miguel Ângelo Parente RibeiroChitosan is obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, and it is known to possess antimicrobial activity. It has attracted attention as it may be used for treating infections caused by different types of microorganisms due to its broad spectrum. Its application in the form of micro- or nanoparticles (CM/CN) has expanded its usage, as in this form, it retains its activity, and remain stable in aqueous solutions....
