Comparison between biliary plastic stents with and without application of silver nanoparticles: an in-vitro study of the biofilm formation

Comparison between biliary plastic stents with and without application of silver nanoparticles: an in-vitro study of the biofilm formation

ABSTRACT Purpose: Plastic biliary stents are a cost-effective treatment for biliary obstruction. Unfortunately, they have low patency, related to intraluminal biofilm formation. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been increasingly used in biomedicine because of its antibacterial properties. This stu...
