Bactericidal potential of dual-ionic honeycomb-like ZnO-CuO nanocomposites from Calotropis gigantea against prominent pathogen associated with skin and surgical wound infections: Staphylococcus aureus

One of prominent pathogen associated with skin and surgical wound infections is Staphylococcus aureus, a Gram-positive skin normal flora. Severe infected open wound with bacterial colonisation would require intravenous antibiotics therapies and tortuous hospitalization procedures. Emerging bacterici...
