Enhancement in the antibacterial activity of cephalexin by its delivery through star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) coated silver nanoparticles

The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stabilized with a four-armed star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer [St-P(CL-b-EO)] and its application as a drug delivery vehicle for cephalexin (Cp) was evaluated against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. The...
