What is it about?
This work shows antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles against skin infection model in rats. The production of the nanoparticles was done using an extract of the Acacia rigidula plant.

Why is it important?
This work contributes in the search of better alternative treatment against common infections produced by microorganisms in in vivo model, that is, testing the nanoparticles in infected skin of rats (in vivo). Also, the way to produce the nanoparticles is environmental friendly because a plant extract is used for the production.
Perspectives
in relation with this work, i think that we can take advantage of organic matter residues to give them utility and produce nanomaterials that can be applied in different areas such as medicine in obtaining better treatments against infections produced by microorganisms resistant to conventional drugs, because nowadays this is a worldwide problema nowadays. I think that testing this kind of treatments in vivo (using animals models) provides valuable information when considering its possible testing and use in humans.
