Antimicrobial Activity of Nanoparticles.

Antimicrobial Activity of Nanoparticles: Applications in Wound Healing and Infection Treatment presents the state-of-the-art among the nanotechnological approaches used in the treatment of infections. This field has gained a large amount of interest over the past few years in response to the increasing resistance of pathogens to antibiotics. In this book, leading researchers from around the world discuss the synthesis routes of nanobiomaterials, characterization and their applications as antimicrobial agents. The book covers various aspects, including antiviral and antibacterial nanoparticles, the functionalization of nanoparticles and their toxicity to human cells, and more. This book offers an advanced reference text for biomedical engineers, materials scientists, clinicians and biochemists who have an interest in nanomedicine and infection control.
