| Abstract |
Because our surroundings are filled with various germs, we are forced to live in contact with these bacteria. Healthy people’s skin prevents the invasion of these germs, but when the skin is damaged by burns, it begins to be colonized by these bacteria. In particular, Staphylococcus epidermidis, one of the normal flora in human body, is not a fatal bacteria in healthy skin, but it can easily form a biofilm in the wounded area and allow other bacteria to possess antibiotic resistance. Therefore, it is very important to treat the wound area with antibacterial dressing at an early stage.
Silver nanoparticles are one of the antimicrobial materials that have received much attention because they are known to have a broad spectrum of different bacteria. Silver nanoparticles are effective antimicrobial agents, but they may also be toxic if absorbed into the body. In addition, if the nanoparticles disappear through the body's absorption, the antimicrobial effect in the wound area can no longer be expected. Because of this, many researchers have tried to create a system in which silver nanoparticles are embedded in a specific substrate. In this study, we present a simple method for synthesizing silver citrate nanorods containing silver nanoparticles, and discuss its mechanism and antimicrobial effect.
