“…To our knowledge, this study is the first to experiment with synthesizing glucosamine phosphate with gold nanoparticles (GlcN-AuNPs) and applying the resulting material simultaneously with meropenem to inhibit biofilm formation on the endotracheal tube. Gold nanoparticles are recognized for their significant potential in biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics, due to their ease of preparation, surface reactivity, and unique optical properties [35]. Gold is a generally non-toxic nanomaterial; however, the substances employed in its preparation and modification may have toxic properties.…”
