Nitric oxide (NO) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, making it an attractive alternative to traditional antibiotics for treating infections. To date, a direct comparison of the antibacterial activity of gaseous NO (gNO) versus water-soluble NO-releasing biopolymers has not been reported. In this study, the bactericidal action of NO-releasing chitosan oligosaccharides was compared to gNO treatment against cystic fibrosis-relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A NO exposure chamb ...[more]
