For the most part, the classical antibiotic pipeline has dried up, and antibiotic resistance to any new drugs quickly develops. It is here that metal-based antimicrobials can step forward as possible solutions in this antimicrobial resistance era. The biological targets of metal atoms are more diverse, thus making it more difficult for bacteria to develop resistance compared with classical antibiotics. The metal silver has been used since antiquity for wound healing and water purification. At present, it is the most prevalent antimicrobial metal used in healthcare, industry, and consumer products. Silver is being used in the form of ionic salt, colloids, or in specific nanomaterials, and as described in this book, it can be applied as mixtures with other antimicrobials or coating composites. The different formulations are explored for their efficacy against a variety of problems related to agricultural and medical infections. Whilst by no means exhaustive, this book nicely highlights the present directions in silver-based antimicrobial research and antimicrobial formulation development. The chapters have been organized from a general introductory review to approaches of mixing other antimicrobials and materials to enhance silver performance. This is followed by synthetic approaches. First are biogenic (sometimes called green or eco-friendly) approaches, followed by advanced physical?chemical synthetic approaches. The book ends with an overview of applications through a review of patents over the past 10 years. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $ananotechnology 610 $aenvironmentally-friendly 610 $apesticide 610 $aantimicrobial 610 $azebrafish 610 $aantimicrobial activity 610 $abiofilm 610 $aurinary infection 610 $asilver nanoparticles 610 $abacterial resistance 610 $asilver 610 $ananoparticles 610 $aCandida albicans 610 $aStaphylococcus aureus 610 $aherbal medicine 610 $aPunicaceae 610 $acalcium glycerophosphate 610 $aStreptococcus mutans 610 $aantibacterial 610 $atitania 610 $amesoporous 610 $amacroporous 610 $asurface functionalization 610 $acamphor derivatives 610 $asilver camphorimine complexes 610 $alaser ablation synthesis in solution 610 $anano-antimicrobials 610 $afood packaging 610 $agreen synthesis 610 $amicrowave irradiation 610 $aJuglans regia 610 $aantibacterial activity 610 $abiological synthesis 610 $amultidrug-resistant bacteria 610 $aantifungal 610 $achitosan oligomers 610 $acomposites 610 $adeep eutectic solvents 610 $aphenolic compounds 610 $aPhytophthora cinnamomi 610 $aroot rot 610 $anon-equilibrium plasma 610 $aantibacterial coatings 610 $aplasma polymers 610 $ananocomposites 610 $aantibiotics 610 $aadjuvant 610 $acombinatorial 610 $ametal 610 $aROS 610 $aantibacterial effect 610 $alaser irradiation 610 $ametal-vapour method 610 $aTEM 610 $aXPS 610 $aEXAFS 610 $amicrobiomes 610 $asilane-based coating 610 $aMarinomonas 610 $aAnaerospora 610 $aantibiotic resistance 610 $amedicinal silver 610 $apatents 610 $asynergism 610 $aCephradine 610 $aVildagliptin 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aTurner$b Raymond J$4edt$0284879 702 $aTurner$b Raymond J$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557135703321 996 $aSilver-Based Antimicrobials$93016883 997 $aUNINA
