“…On the other hand, S. aureus was listed as one of high-priority pathogens by the World Health Organization (WHO). In this regard, various drug molecules (Ruszczak & Friess, 2003), antibiotics (Williamson, Maroudas, & Wilkie, 1971), nanoparticles (Wang, Hu, & Shao, 2017), quaternary ammonium compounds (Makvandi, Jamaledin, Jabbari, Nikfarjam, & Borzacchiello, 2018), metal ions (Du, Niu, Xu, Xu, & Fan, 2009), a water-soluble antibacterial polysaccharide extracted from dandelion and its derivative (Lin, Zhu, Li et al, 2018), essential oils (thyme (Lin, Zhu, Thangaraj, Abdel-Samie, & Cui, 2018), and tea tree oil ), clove oil/chitosan nanoparticles (Cui, Bai, Rashed, & Lin, 2018), nisin-loaded nanoparticles (Cui, Wu, Li, & Lin, 2017), and cinnamon essential oil/beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) proteoliposomes (Lin, Dai, & Cui, 2017) were exploited to inhibit bacterial growth and destroy the cellular structure of microorganisms. Apart from the above biocides, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have also shown high antibacterial activity, and therefore, were incorporated into different material systems, including hydrogels (González-Sánchez et al, 2015;Lustosa et al, 2017), nanogels (Qasim, Udomluck, Chang, Park, & Kim, 2018), and coatings (Zhao et al, 2011).…”
