Zinc oxide nanoparticles reduce biofilm formation, synergize antibiotics action and attenuate Staphylococcus aureus virulence in host; an important message to clinicians

Zinc oxide nanoparticles reduce biofilm formation, synergize antibiotics action and attenuate Staphylococcus aureus virulence in host; an important message to clinicians

Abstract Background Biofilm-related infections are difficult to be treated because of higher resistance to antimicrobial agents. Current study aims to characterize the influence of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) on both S. aureus susceptibility to antibiotics and pathogenesis. Methods The influe...
