Description
Gennady Burygin and co-authors study silver nanoclusters that weaken bacterial resistance, in a 2025 paper. Nanomaterials are in wide use in biomedical research as carriers for drugs and for antibody loads, and some of them can kill germs on their own. Silver nanoclusters had been tipped to act on the bacterial TolC protein, a part that plays a role in the rise of multidrug resistance in pathogens.
The team made glutathione-coated nanoclusters and checked them with care. Their toxic traits were tested in a microplate assay against five bacterial strains, both on their own and in mixtures with other agents. The title reports that the clusters cut bacterial resistance to heavy metals and to antibiotics, which could extend the life of drugs now in use.
