![Different actions of NPs in bacterial cells [1, 2, 3, 4]
With different size, shape, stiffness and surface charge NPs cross the bacterial membrane and disrupt cell membrane and wall, influencing several pathways. NPs trigger a generation of oxidative stress (ROS) that damage cellular proteins and cell’s basic components (DNA, ribosomes, enzymes), leading to changes in cell membrane permeability, metabolism pathways and biofilm disruption.](https://sciendo-parsed.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/6470930a71e4585e08aa03e2/j_am-2023-0001_fig_001.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA6AP2G7AKOUXAVR44%2F20250910%2Feu-central-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20250910T194214Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Signature=5ac8bd63a50bf81a1b36aa7bcf2e798a4a477feb0f63c078d199ec0f3c71aafa&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject)
