Copper-Containing Anti-Biofilm Nanofiber Scaffolds as a Wound Dressing Material

Copper-Containing Anti-Biofilm Nanofiber Scaffolds as a Wound Dressing Material

Copper particles were incorporated into nanofibers during the electrospinning of poly-D,L-lactide (PDLLA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The ability of the nanofibers to prevent Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 and Staphylococcus aureus (strain Xen 30) to form biofilms was tested. Nanofibers containing...
