Filter papers coated with lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) demonstrated moderate antimicrobial efficacy against MRSA which can be caused by immobilization of LNPs on the surface of filter paper.
Further studies of antimicrobial LNPs-based coatings are needed to reveal possible mechanisms of antimicrobial activity.
