摘要: Abstract Contamination of food by bacteria and fungi can cause severe human infections, particularly in the case multiresistant microorganisms to conventional antimicrobials. Metallic polymeric nanoparticles have showed potent antimicrobial properties. Silver metallic powerful effect against foodborne bacterial fungal pathogens. The association silver with other compounds resulted synergistic effects. Polymeric nanoparticles, such as alginate chitosan, also activity. These act carriers donors different compounds, nitric oxide. be used make fibers, films, gels, sponges, beads, packaging. uses for industry been considered versatile materials packaging coating. Our research group demonstrated antibacterial activity combination therapeutic (eg, phenazine oxide) pathogens that infections. In this scenario, chapter presents discusses recent advances use agents, hopes a source inspiration new developments field.
