Advanced Science, 2018 AbstractAntibacterial materials are recognized as important biomaterials due to their effective inhibition of bacterial infections. Hydrogels are 3D polymer networks crosslinked by either physical interactions or covalent bonds. Currently, hydrogels with an antibacterial function are a main focus in biomedical research.

'Evolution-Proofing' Antibacterials [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2014 When antibiotics first came into use, they were so effective at curbing bacterial infections that it seemed the age-old battle of man vs. microbe would soon be at an end [1]. Eighty years and dozens of drugs later, we now know better. Following each new antibiotic’s launch, reports soon accumulated that once-treatable infections were becoming ...

Metal-Based Drugs, 1994 The antibacterial activity of silver has long been known and has found a variety of applications because its toxicity to human cells is considerably lower than to bacteria. The most widely documented uses are prophylactic treatment of burns and water disinfection. However, the mechanisms by which silver kills cells are not known.
