Enhanced meropenem activity and stability following load in Polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber scaffolds with sitagliptin as quorum sensing inhibitor on Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Our results underscore the successful fabrication of nanofiber scaffolds and the effectiveness of STG and MER-loaded nanofibers as promising wound dressings for cutaneous P. aeruginosa infections. This study highlights the potential of our innovative nanofiber system to enhance treatment efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria, offering a personalized and rapid response wound dressing solution for medical professionals. Ultimately, it shows promise to improve patient recovery and quality of life while minimizing systemic side effects.
