Overcoming microbial resuscitation using stable ultrafine gold nanosystems.

ABSTRACT: While ultrafine gold nanosystems (UGNs) are being extensively studied for their antimicrobial activities, hitherto, no report is available on their propensity towards mitigating bacterial resuscitation-a potential factor contributing to the antimicrobial resistance. The investigations herein with two categories of gold nanosystems-modulated for their stability and surface accessibility through glutathione capping-have provided insights into overcoming resuscitation. Additionally, the study cautions that even moderate resistance development in bacteria exposed to nanosystems can result in significant cross-resistance against conventional antibiotics.
