Zinc oxide nanoparticles restore susceptibility to chlorhexidine and benzalkonium chloride in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from burn infections.

BACKGROUND: Decolonization of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is one of the main challenges in burn wards. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in combination with ch…
