Scientists from Tambov State University GR Derzhavin and the National Research Technological University “MISIS” synthesized titanium and sulfur nanoparticles, thereby obtaining a compound with a strong antibacterial effect, transmits With reference to the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia RT. The study’s authors note that the development will allow for the creation of new antibiotics and antibacterial coatings.
“Under certain conditions, the new material turned out to be 3.5 times more effective than the standard chlorine-containing antibacterial agent, bleach. “This opens up the prospects for the development of new antibiotics and antibacterial coatings based on titanium trisulfide nanoribbons,” said Olga Zakharova, director of the Research Institute of Ecology and Biotechnology at Derzhavin University.
It turned out that the antibacterial activity of nanoribbons is strongly dependent on the chemical composition of the surrounding fluid and the shelf life of the solution, which is not typical for most modern antibiotics.
Previously, a team of scientists from the Baylor College of Medicine (USA) spent He researched and found a drug that suppresses antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
Before that, scientists from the Federal University of Kazan (Volga Region) together with experts from the Federal Center for Toxicological, Radiation and Biological Safety (Kazan) created A new terpene alcohol-based compound designed to combat the Candida fungi that cause thrush.
