Noncytotoxic silver nanoparticles as a new antimicrobial strategy

Abstract Drug-resistance of bacteria is an ongoing problem in hospital treatment. The main mechanism of bacterial virulency in human infections is based on their adhesion ability and biofilm formation. Many approaches have been invented to overcome this problem, i.e. treatment with antibacterial bio...
