• Antibacterial activity of chitin, chitosan and its oligomers prepared from shrimp shell waste (2012, background): “One means is that the polycationic nature of chitosan interferes with bacterial metabolism by electrostatic stacking at the cell surface of bacteria (Chung et al., 2004; Je & Kim, 2006).”
• Chitosan as a Wound Dressing Starting Material: Antimicrobial Properties and Mode of Action (2019, background): “The results obtained showed a greater hydrophilicity in Gram-negative bacterial cell walls then Gram-positive ones; therefore, more negatively charged bacterial surfaces had greater interaction with positively charged chitosan [178].”
• Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities from cosmopolitan Orthoptera species (Insecta) (2015, background): “The negative charge on the cell surface of the Gram-negative bacteria is higher than that on the Gram-positive bacteria, which causes a greater amount of chitosan to be adsorbed and a higher inhibitory effect against the Gram-negative bacteria [24].”
• Chitosan based hydrogels and their applications for drug delivery in wound dressings: A review. (2018, background): “Degree of deacetylation affects chitosan antimicrobial activity (Chung et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2001); on the other hand chitosan microspheres with a high degree of deacetylation (97.”
• Antimicrobial properties of chitosan and mode of action: a state of the art review. (2010, background): “In several studies, stronger antibacterial activity was apparent against Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria (Chung et al. 2004; No et al., 2002), while in another study Grampositive bacteria were more susceptible, perhaps as a consequence of the Gram-negative outer membrane barrier…”
• Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications (2015, background): “[180] confirmed that antibacterial mechanism includes hydrophilicity and the negative charge of cell surface and the adsorption of chitosan onto the bacterial cell.”
• Antimicrobial chitosan–PVA hydrogel as a nanoreactor and immobilizing matrix for silver nanoparticles (2012, background): “Chung et al. (2004) illustrated a correlation between hydrophilic nature of the chitosan and its antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria, i.”
• Antibacterial activity of chitosan tripolyphosphate nanoparticles loaded with various metal ions (2009, background): “It has been reported that the negative charge on the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria was higher than on Gram-positive bacteria (Chung et al., 2004).”
• Development of a chitosan-based wound dressing with improved hemostatic and antimicrobial properties. (2008, background): “After identifying the most effective hemostatic formulation (coded as ChiPP), silver nanoparticles were incorporated to enhance the dressing’s antimicrobial activity, since chitosan’s antimicrobial action is limited against certain species of bacteria and in non-acidic pH environments [16,17].”
• Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Meal as a Promising Feed Ingredient for Poultry: A Comprehensive Review (2020, background): “bacterial metabolism by electrostatic stacking at the cell surface of bacteria [153,154], and (2) their ability to prevent RNA transcription from DNA by adsorption of penetrated chitosan to DNA molecules [65].”
