A three-dimensional human skin model to evaluate the inhibition of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> by antimicrobial peptide-functionalized silver carbon nanotubes

Abstract

Thus, our results showed that functionalized silver-coated carbon nanotubes are not only non-toxic, but also help reduce the infection due to their antibacterial activity. These findings will aid in the development of novel antibacterial skin substitutes.
