Due to the overconsumption of antimicrobials, antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a critical health issue worldwide, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis (VRE). Recently, many efforts have been made to load metals into bioactive glasses to enha...
