Preparation, characterization, and antibacterial effect of doxycycline loaded kefiran nanofibers

Kefiran is a microbial biopolymer which is able to form nanofibers with specific characteristic features. The present study demonstrated the successful fabrication of drug loaded kefiran nanofibrous mats by electrospinnig method. Nanofibrous mats were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM images revealed bead free nanofibers with the average diameter of 300 nm. In addition,...
