Antimicrobial Dressings: The Wound Care Applications explores the literature surrounding the catalytic behavior of proteolytic enzymes immobilized together with nanoparticles. As numerous applications using proteolytic enzymes for debridement, silver as antibiotic and nanoparticles for enzyme immobilization were developed in the last years, this book explores interdisciplinary information combining nanotechnology, biotechnology and medicine and how it's still in early stages. The book adopts a holistic approach in a lifecycle context to evaluate their final feasibility, including industrial exploitability without disregard of the potential risks of enzymes and nanomaterials to human health and the environment.
