Eradication of Mature Bacterial Biofilms with Concurrent Improvement in Chronic Wound Healing Using Silver Nanoparticle Hydrogel Treatment

Eradication of Mature Bacterial Biofilms with Concurrent Improvement in Chronic Wound Healing Using Silver Nanoparticle Hydrogel Treatment

Biofilm-associated infections are a major cause of impaired wound healing. Despite the broad spectrum of anti-bacterial benefits provided by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), these materials still cause controversy due to cytotoxicity and a lack of efficacy against mature biofilms. Herein, highly potent...
