Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes severe acute and chronic nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised burn patients. and can lead to severe mortality and morbidity. The emergence of antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa infections has created significant challenges in treating these patients. A potential alternative treatment for antibiotic resistant pathogens includes the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which have received considerable attention due to their potent antibacterial activity. The aim of this study was to construct a novel CNT containing an anti-bacterial chemical component to effectively combat drug resistant P. aeruginosa infections.
