Evaluation of Antibacterial Effects of Matrix-Induced Silver Ions against Antibiotic-Resistant ESKAPE Pathogens

Recently, drug-resistant bacterial infections, especially ESKAPE pathogens (<i>Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter</i> spp.), have become a critical health issue worldwide, highlighting the...
