Responsive Polymeric Nanoparticles for Biofilm-infection Control

With the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in many pathogens, bacterial infections are becoming a growing threat to public health. The frightening scenario is due largely to the formation of biofilms, in which the bacteria are extremely recalcitrant to the conventional antibiotic regimens. To address the emergence of MDR and biofilm-associated infections, numerous polymer-based materials have been designed and prepared recently. The...
