AgNPs-Glucan Conjugates: A Synergistic Approach to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

The AgNPs-glucan conjugates, produced using linear (1→ 6)-β-D-glucan from P. florida blue variant and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), demonstrated effectiveness in fighting against Klebsiella pneumoniae YSI6A, a bacterium that is resistant to multiple antibiotics [19]. Furthermore, the combination of AgNPs-glucan conjugates with various antibiotics displayed a synergistic antibacterial effect, making it a promising solution for treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
