Abstract

may possibly involve generation of active ion species that enhance bactericidal effect against Gram-positive bacterial strains, especially for the MDR strains. Nano-based technology using MNPs may provide a promising solution for the prevention and control of NIs. Further work on biocompatibility and cytotoxicity profiles of this nanocomposite are needed.
