• Twenty-Eight-Day Oral Toxicity, Genotoxicity, and Gender-Related Tissue Distribution of Silver Nanoparticles in Sprague-Dawley Rats (2008, background): “, 2006), along with the use of silver nanoparticles for the treatment of burns (Klasen 2000; Percival et al., 2005).”
• Development of a chitosan-based wound dressing with improved hemostatic and antimicrobial properties. (2008, background): “Ionic silver is active against a wide range of pathogens including multi-drug resistant strains, and have a far lower propensity for resistance development [11,12].”
• Antibacterial nano-structured titania coating incorporated with silver nanoparticles. (2011, positive): “Secondly, the difficulty for bacteria to develop resistance against this element bodes well for in vivo applications [40].”
• Recent Advances in Antimicrobial Treatments of Textiles (2008, background): “Some concerns have been expressed about the development of bacterial resistance to silver [34, 35].”
• Candida species: current epidemiology, pathogenicity, biofilm formation, natural antifungal products and new therapeutic options. (2013, background): “Silver ions can also lead to protein denaturation and cell death because of their reaction with nucleophilic amino acid residues in proteins and their attachment to thiol, amino, imidazole, phosphate and carboxyl groups of membrane proteins or enzymes (Percival et al., 2005).”
• The increasing use of silver-based products as antimicrobial agents: a useful development or a cause for concern? (2007, background): “To date, there are less than 20 published reports of silver resistance in bacteria and only a few of these include data that help clarify resistance mechanisms.(23) McHugh et al.”
• Antimicrobial surface functionalization of plastic catheters by silver nanoparticles. (2008, background): “Bacterial resistance to silver has been a concern with the significant increase in the usage of silver-containing products to manage infections.(28,29) Several studies suggest that it is secondary to a plasmid-related increase in silver binding to periplasmic membrane proteins and in silver efflux t”
