Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections arising from acquired resistance and/or through
biofilm formation necessitate the development of innovative 'outside of the box'therapeutics …

Although new antibiofilm agents have been developed to prevent and eliminate pathogenic
biofilms, their widespread clinical use is hindered by poor biocompatibility and …

Antibiotic resistance has become a serious threat to human health due to the overuse of
antibiotics. Different antibiotics are being developed to treat resistant bacteria, but the …

The dramatic increase in antimicrobial resistance for pathogenic bacteria constitutes a key
threat to human health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recently stated …

Currently, microbial infections have posed an arduous challenge to global public health,
whereas the rise of antibiotic resistance is rendering traditional antibiotic therapies futile …

At present, there is an urgent need in medicine and industry to develop new approaches to
eliminate bacterial biofilms. Considering the low efficiency of classical approaches to biofilm …

Nature has inspired scientists to develop green and sustainable nanomaterials with
biomimetic functions. Particularly, biomimetic metallic nanostructures (biometal NPs) with …

We present the use of functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to combat multi-drug-
resistant pathogenic bacteria. Tuning of the functional groups on the nanoparticle surface …

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the interaction of oral
microorganisms with the host immune response. Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) acts as a …

In this work, we prepared quaternized carbon dots (CDs) with simultaneous antibacterial
and bacterial differentiation capabilities using a simple carboxyl–amine reaction between …
