From Green Leaves To Silver Nanoparticles: Nature-Inspired Strategies Against Antimicrobial Resistance
Can the plants growing around us solve the antimicrobial resistance crisis? When we think about plants, we usually think about the natural beauty they bring to our surroundings. Rarely do we consider that the same green leaves we pass every day may hold clues to tackling one of the greatest challenges in modern microbiology: antimicrobial resistance (AMR). If you walk through any garden, park or woodland, you are surrounded by one of nature’s most abundant molecules: chlorophyll. For many of us, chlorophyll may simply just be the pigment that makes plants green and facilitates photosynthesis, the process plants use to make foodi. Yet beyond its role in [...]
