Abstract

One of the most dangerous characteristics of bacteria is their propensity to form biofilms and their resistance to the drugs used in clinical practice today. The total number of genes that can be categorized as virulence genes ranges from a few hundred to more than a thousand. The bacteria employ a variety of mechanisms to regulate the expression of these genes in a coordinated manner during infection. The search for new agents with anti-virulence capacity is therefore crucial. Nanotechnology provides safe platforms for targeted therapies to combat a broad spectrum of microbial infections. As a new class of innovative materials, carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs), which include carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and fullerenes can have strong antibacterial activity. Exposure to CBNs has been shown to affect bacterial gene expression patterns. This study investigated the effect of CBNs on the repression of specific genes related to bacterial virulence/pathogenicity. © 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
