Millions of cases of hospital-acquired infections occur every year involving difficult to treat bacterial and fungal agents. In an effort to improve patient outcomes and provide better infection control, antimicrobial coatings are ideal to apply in clinical settings in addition to aseptic practices. Most efforts involving effective antimicrobial surface technologies are limited by toxicity of exposure due to the diffusion. Therefore, surface-immobilized antimicrobial agents are an ideal solution to infection control. Presented herein is a method of producing carbon-coated copper/copper oxide nanoparticles. Our findings demonstrate the potential for these particles to serve as antimicrobial additives.

每年发生数百万例医院获得性感染,涉及难以治疗的细菌和真菌病原体。为了改善患者预后并提供更好的感染控制,除无菌操作外,抗菌涂层是应用于临床环境的理想选择。大多数涉及有效抗菌表面技术的努力都受到扩散导致的暴露毒性的限制。因此,表面固定化抗菌剂是感染控制的理想解决方案。本文介绍了一种制备碳包覆铜/氧化铜纳米颗粒的方法。我们的研究结果表明这些颗粒有作为抗菌添加剂的潜力。
