Background/Objective:The opportunistic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is responsible for nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Fungal infections are increasingly likely burn victims, as the epidermis serves body’s first line of defense against microbial pathogens. In an effort to utilize complementary methods control, electroceutical dressing containing geometrically ...

Silver ion has been used for centuries to prevent and treat a variety of diseases and infections. In recent years, extensive studies have been undertaken on the use of antimicrobial properties of silver, incorporated within medical devices. The aim of this study was to prepare a formulation containing silver ion, which could be applied for wound dressing. The purity of nanosilver was measured b...

BACKGROUND An acute burn wound is a complex and evolving injury. Extensive burns produce systemic consequences, in addition to local tissue damage. Treatment of partial thickness burn wounds is directed towards promoting healing and a wide variety of dressings are currently available. Improvements in technology and advances in understanding of wound healing have driven the development of new dr...

Metallic nanoparticles are interesting areas of research due to their unique properties which can be advantageous for producing smart products. Silver (AgNPs) remarkably used in pharmaceutical industry because strong biological activities. The aim the present study was investigate cytotoxicity and wound healing capacity biologically prepared silver via green synthesis route. Cytotoxicity biogen...

Antimicrobial properties of silver have been known for a long time, but there is also cytotoxicity high concentrations silver. Therefore, it important to select the concentration and shape depending on goals. The ideal wound dressing should ensure that remains optimally moist, protected from infections, has no toxic compounds, stimulates regeneration. In present work, we obtained series polycap...

A range of silver-coated or -impregnated dressings are now commercially available for use but comparative data on their antimicrobial efficacies are limited. The antibacterial activities of five commercially available silver-coated/impregnated dressings were compared against nine common burn-wound pathogens, namely methicillin-sensitive and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Enterococcus ...
