Antimicrobial Activity of Nanoparticles: Applications in Wound Healing and Infection Treatment

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. Provides a targeted nanomaterial-based focus in antimicrobial medicine, bridging the gap between biological, clinical, and materials science disciplines Describes the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles for infection and wound healing, including chemical routes, biological routes and physical routes Covers each microbial sub-group and associated antimicrobial nanoparticles in individual, digestible sections INDICE: 1. Main responsible of human infections 2. Nanomaterials to aid wound healing and infection control 3. Nanocomposite scaffolds and coatings for wound healing and infection control 4. Antiviral potential of nanomaterials: The fight against viruses 5. Antiviral potential of nanomaterials: Novel solutions for emerging challenges 6. Antimicrobial nanoparticles 7. Functionalization of nanoparticles 8. Toxicity of nanoparticles
