Silver nanoparticles as a medical device in healthcare settings: a five-step approach for candidate screening of coating agents

Silver nanoparticle-based antimicrobials can promote a long lasting bactericidal effect without detrimental toxic side effects. However, there is not a clear and complete protocol to define and relate the properties of the particles (size, shape, surface charge, ionic content) with their specific ac...
