Investigations have been carried out on the development of stabilized
antimicrobial agents from plant extract for the application of 100% cotton fabric.
aeruginosa may be treated with
antimicrobial agents from three major groups based on mechanism of action: aminoglycosides (interference with protein synthesis) such as tobramycin or amikacin; beta-lactams (inhibition of cell wall synthesis) such as piperacillin, ticarcillin, 3rd and 4th generation cephalosporins (ceftazidime and cefepime), and carbapenems like imipenem or meropenem; or fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin) (interference with nucleic acid replication).

Contrary to many
antimicrobial agents that are currently being used in clinics, antimicrobial nanoparticles do not cause undesirable side-effects at milimolar dosage where they have antimicrobial effect.
PurThread has obtained a globally exclusive agreement to embed Kodak's

Controlling the release of
antimicrobial agents from packaging films could inhibit the growth of target microorganisms over time.
"Unlike other antimicrobials that act by poisoning harmful microorganisms," Manzone said, "Smart Sponge Plus technology is based on the interaction of the

In a recent study published in the Journal of The American Chemical Society, professor Tewodros Asefa and associate professor Jeffrey Boyd synthesized nanostructured silica particles, considered to be promising drug carriers, that contained payloads of an
antimicrobial agent. The researchers found the particles were effective at killing two human bacterial pathogens.
