  We utilize a new nanocomposite material to give a report about a new platform for wound dressing. It is worth mentioning synergistic mixing graphene quantum dots (as a type of Organic Dots (ODs)) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) are materials participating in fabrication of the nanocomposite mentioned. We brought Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-positive bacterium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a gram-negative bacterium into play to optimize their antibacterial activity. We evaluated Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) for OD/PVA nanocomposite. Our optimizations resulted as a persistent level against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in higher ratios of OD. In-vitro studies and MTT assay were used for determination the optimum ratio of OD to PVA. We quantified bur.. View More»
