Chitosan as a Wound Dressing Starting Material: Antimicrobial Properties and Mode of Action
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Fighting bacterial resistance is one of the concerns in modern days, as antibiotics remain the main resource of bacterial control. Data shows that for every antibiotic developed, there is a microorganism that becomes resistant to it. Natural polymers, as

Antimicrobial Titanium–Copper Alloys: The Role of Microstructure in Arc‐Melted Compositions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Copper‐containing titanium alloys show promise in combating orthopedic implant infections. This study explores the influence of heat treatment on Ti‐11.5Cu and Ti‐33Cu alloys, revealing that larger Ti2Cu precipitates (≈5 μm) enhance antimicrobial efficacy through increased surface contact. Results suggest contact sterilization is the primary mechanism,
