Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial activity of chitosan-chelated silver nanoparticles

Research and Application of Chitosan Nanoparticles in Orthopedic Infections

“…Increasing the chitosan content resulted in a more pronounced antibacterial influence, which was especially noticeable in its interaction with the peptidoglycan layer on the bacterial surface, according to the antibacterial results of the nanoparticles. The study also demonstrated the potent antibacterial activity of CS-AgNPs against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by causing membrane damage and blocking bacterial growth 80 ( Figure 7 ).
