    Antibacterial properties of composite materials based on metal/metal-oxide nanoparticles, nanosilica and polylactid acid

    The global rise in antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of alternative materials with effective antibacterial properties. This study compares two classes of nanocomposites: silver nanoparticle (AgNP)- and zinc oxide (ZnO)-based systems, both immobilized on silica (SiO₂) and treated with polylactic acid (PLA) to enhance biocompatibility and biodegradability. AgNP-containing composites (SiO₂- Ag and SiO₂-Ag-PLA) exhibited potent, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-negative E. coli and K. pneumoniae, though activity decreased when modified with PLA—likely due to reduced ion release and surface coverage interference.

    Antibacterial properties of zinc oxide-containing composite materials based on silica and polylactic acid

    Antimicrobial resistance poses a critical threat to global health, as conventional drugs increasingly fail against multidrug-resistant pathogens. A key challenge lies in the inability of many antimicrobials to penetrate microbial membranes or act effectively against intracellular infections. Nanoparticles (NPs) offer a promising alternative due to their unique physicochemical properties and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Among these, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are especially notable for their low cytotoxicity and effectiveness against resistant strains.
