Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB): An Innovative Solution for Antibacterial Applications
Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB) is gaining more and more attention for its great potential in fighting bacterial infections, an increasingly relevant global challenge due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Since the discovery of penicillin in 1929, antimicrobials have been crucial in medicine, but their overuse has led to the emergence of resistant bacteria, posing a significant threat to public health. Against this backdrop, Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB) is presented as a promising alternative for the development of more effective and sustainable antibacterial materials.
What is Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB)?
Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB) is a biological material produced by bacteria, unlike other types of nanocellulose that come from plant sources. This bacterial process results in an extremely fine cellulose, with unique properties that make it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including infection prevention. Bacterial Nanocellulose (NCB) is completely biocompatible, biodegradable and can be chemically modified, making it an attractive option for industrial and scientific sectors looking for innovative and sustainable materials.
