Abstract
, which highlights the unique antimicrobial activities between the nanoparticulate and the ionic forms of silver. Despite the proven efficacy of NAg, the observation of NAg resistance in A. baumannii emphasises the potential risks of the repeated overuse of this agent on a priority pathogen.
