Organic and inorganic antibacterial approaches in combating bacterial infection for biomedical application

Syafiqah Saidin et al.

Summary: This review paper explores the potential applications of inorganic and organic antibacterial agents in biomedical settings, discussing their mechanisms of action on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Inorganic agents like silver, copper, gold, and zinc release ions to target Gram-negative bacteria, while organic agents like chlorhexidine and triclosan disrupt biochemical pathways in Gram-positive bacteria. The selection of antibacterial agents for biomaterials should consider their effective mechanisms and the specific bacterial strains they are targeting.

Efficacy of metal oxide nanoparticles as novel antimicrobial agents against multi-drug and multi-virulent Staphylococcus aureus isolates from retail raw chicken meat and giblets

Sameh S. Ali et al.

Summary: Staphylococcus aureus is a common zoonotic pathogen found in animals consumed as food, with a high prevalence of multidrug resistance. This study suggests that metal oxide nanoparticles, particularly zinc peroxide nanoparticles, show significant inhibitory activity against drug-resistant S. aureus strains isolated from raw chicken meat and giblets that produce strong biofilms.

Synthesis and Applications of ZnO/Polymer Nanohybrids

Zongyu Wang et al.

Summary: The article explores the application of surface polymerization techniques in novel zinc oxide (ZnO)/polymer hybrids, aiming to enhance the physicochemical properties of polymer materials by precise control of the microstructure of polymer/zinc nanoparticle blends. Progress has been made in this field through the development of controlled radical polymerization methods, enabling deliberate modification of zinc oxide surfaces with polymer chains. The resulting enhancement in particle compatibility allows for the creation of multifunctional polymer/ZnO nanocomposite materials with potential applications in optics, catalysis, energy, and biomedical areas.
