Antimicrobial 3D printed surfaces made of PLA and TPU polymers loaded with copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were developed via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The potential antimicrobial effect of the 3D printed surfaces against Esch...

Salmonella is a global health threat, with pig production being one of the main sources of human salmonellosis. The current study investigated the antivirulence properties of geraniol for inhibiting the in vitro colonization of Salmonella. The minimu...
