Graphene oxide (GO): a promising nanomaterial against infectious diseases caused by multi-drug resistant organisms

Infectious diseases are major threat due to it being the main cause of enormous morbidity and mortality in the world. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria put an additional burden of infection leading to inferior treatment by the antibiotics of the latest generations. The emergence and spread of MDR b...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria put an additional burden of infection leading to inferior treatment by the antibiotics of the latest generations. The emergence and spread of MDR bacteria (so-called “superbugs”), due to mutations in the bacteria and overuse of antibiotics, should be considered a serious concern.

description Infectious diseases are major threat due to it being the main cause of enormous morbidity and mortality in the world.
