Quercetin-functionalized gold/silver nanoparticles with tunable antibacterial selectivity for bacterial infection treatment

YXYu-chen XieHuazhong University of Science and TechnologyLMLi-yun MaUnion HospitalYXYuxi XiaoTongji Hospital

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop quercetin-functionalized nanoparticles with tailored antibacterial properties to combat bacterial infections while reducing resistance.
  • Synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles functionalized with quercetin.
  • Assess antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains.
  • Analyze selectivity of nanoparticles towards different bacteria.
  • Quercetin-functionalized nanoparticles exhibited significant antibacterial activity.
  • Selectivity was influenced by the composition of nanoparticles and bacterial type.
  • Potential to delay the development of drug resistance was observed.

Abstract

Selective antibacterial use is a key strategy for delaying drug resistance and a principle of precision antibacterial therapy. Developing selective antibacterial agent is highly desired for this purpose. In this...
