Description
Francisca Acevedo and a Chilean team build antibacterial silver nanoparticle fibres for wound care in a 2026 study. Four particle coatings were compared: citrate, cysteine, and two common anti-inflammatory drugs. Particles were checked for size behaviour, killing power, and safety with several cell types.
Diclofenac-coated particles performed best, stopping Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa at modest levels and Candida albicans at still lower levels. Irritation in a membrane assay was negligible up to fairly high doses, although fibroblasts responded more sensitively than other cells. Spun into polymer fibres, the particles cut one oral streptococcus sharply and other microbes modestly. The authors argue that coating choice tunes both strength and safety. Such fibres, they suggest, could tackle infected wounds where biofilms resist antibiotics.
