Detection of Genes Related to Resistance to Silver Nanoparticles in Bacteria from Secondary Endodontic Infections

Introduction. Silver nanoparticles are used in endodontics due to their antimicrobial activity, although it is considered that bacteria are unable to develop resistance to silver nanoparticles. Silver resistance genes have been related to resistance to nanoparticles and antibiotics. The presence of...
