Metal mediated high performance antimicrobial hydrogel films for wound infection management: Zn, Cu, and Mg versus Ag and Au by Sen, Raj Kumar., Prabhakar, Priyanka, Mayandi, Venkatesh, Dwivedi, Neeraj, Yadav, Amit K., Solanki, Pratima R., Gupta, Ayush, Gowri, V. S., Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Verma, Navin Kumar, Mondal, D. P., Srivastava, Avanish Kumar, Dhand, Chetna

“…While silver-based materials have emerged as potential alternatives to antibiotics in wound care management, they are expensive (gold is an even more expensive antimicrobial agent), and their excessive use may promote silver-resistant microbial strains, and skin argyrosis. Furthermore, excessive wound exudate causes conventional wound dressings to become moistened and painful to remove due to adhesion to the wound. …”
