Microbial infections are still one of the major causes of death among world population. For
this reason, there is an urgent need of new antimicrobial agents that express antibacterial activity.
Silver-based compounds are known to be toxic against bacteria. One of the most representative
examples is silver sulfadiazine. In our article we report the antibacterial activity of silver Nheterocyclic
carbene complexes, tested againt a wide spectrum of microorganisms. MIC and MBC
were calculated for each compound.
We have also produced a dextran oleate conjugate, that was employed for the preparation of
self-assembled biopolymeric nanoparticles
