Introducción al estudio de las propiedades antibacterianas del grafeno

Israel Gago, Inmaculada Molina, Gerardo León, Beatriz Miguel

Resumen


El grafeno es uno de los materiales más estudiados en los últimos años debido a sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas, ópticas y eléctricas, centrándose algunos estudios recientes en su  capacidad de interactuar con células y tejidos. Entre los retos científicos de la bioingeniería está el desarrollo de nuevos sistemas de tratamiento de heridas mediante sustancias con alto poder bactericida. Las propiedades del grafeno en este sentido pueden aportar soluciones novedosas. En esta comunicación se presentan los resultados preliminares de un estudio sobre inhibición del crecimiento bacteriano en medios dopados con grafeno. La medida de la proliferación bacteriana en medios de cultivo convencionales y dopados con grafeno, confirman que éste actúa de manera efectiva como agente antibacteriano, lo que abre nuevas líneas de investigación en Defensa, entre ellas, la preparación de productos con grafeno para evitar infecciones en heridas abiertas antes de la evacuación del herido, aumentando sus posibilidades de supervivencia.
