Novel antibacterial bioactive glass nanocomposite functionalized with tetracycline hydrochloride
To prevent the high frequency of wound infections, anti-bacterial agents can be loaded onto composites. In the present study, the antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride (TC)was incorporated, for the first time, in collagen type I membranes coated with nano-sized SiO2-CaOP2O5 bioactive glass (n-BG) ob...

Summary: | To prevent the high frequency of wound infections,
anti-bacterial agents can be loaded onto composites.
In the present study, the antibiotic tetracycline hydrochloride
(TC)was incorporated, for the first time, in collagen
type I membranes coated with nano-sized SiO2-CaOP2O5
bioactive glass (n-BG) obtained by a sol-gel chemical
route. |
