Cellulose-Based Nanofibril Composite Materials as a New Approach to Fight Bacterial Infections

Antibiotic resistant microorganisms have become an enormous global challenge, and are predicted to cause hundreds of millions of deaths. Therefore, the search for novel/alternative antimicrobial agents is a grand global challenge. Cellulose is an abundant biopolymer with the advantages of low cost,...

Cellulose-Based Nanofibril Composite Materials as a New Approach to Fight Bacterial Infections
