Research Article: Chemical Synthesis of Innovative Silver Nanohybrids with Synergistically Improved Antimicrobial Properties
Abstract:
In recent decades, antibiotic resistance has been making infection treatment very difficult. Antibiotics have been credited for reducing infection; however, extensive use of antibiotics has also led to antibiotic resistance, a grave challenge in patient care. Approximately .–.% of the bacteria resulting in surgery-related infections are found to be resistant to conventional antibiotics., From to , infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria increased by % in the USA, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria led to over . million infections as well as ,+ deaths every year. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer new antibiotics are being approved or are in development; for example and new antibiotics were approved by FDA during – and –, respectively, while only were approved during –.
