ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIBIOFILM EFFICACY OF COPPER DOPED ZnO NANOPARTICLES AGAINST MARINE BIOFILM FORMING BACTERIA
The antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of chemically synthesized pure and Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles against marine biofilm forming bacteria has been reported for the first time. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using PXRD, FTIR and SEM which confirmed the formation of phase pure nanostructured zinc oxides. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the synthesized nano...
متن کاملEfficacy of a Marine Bacterial Nuclease against Biofilm Forming Microorganisms Isolated from Chronic Rhinosinusitis
BACKGROUND The persistent colonization of paranasal sinus mucosa by microbial biofilms is a major factor in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Control of microorganisms within biofilms is hampered by the presence of viscous extracellular polymers of host or microbial origin, including nucleic acids. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of extracellular DNA in biofilm...
متن کاملEvaluation of antifouling activity of eight commercially available organic chemicals against the early foulers marine bacteria and Ulva spores.
Environmental impacts caused by tin and copper based commercial antifouling (AF) paints were proved to be detrimental to aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, a search of environmental friendly AF compounds to be used in marine paint to protect the surface of maritime developmental structures from the unwanted biofouling is a burning issue of the present time. Commercially available eight organic chem...
متن کاملBiofilm-forming activity of bacteria isolated from toilet bowl biofilms and the bactericidal activity of disinfectants against the isolates.
To evaluate the sanitary conditions of toilets, the bacterial counts of the toilet bowl biofilms in 5 Kansai area and 11 Kansai and Kanto area homes in Japan were measured in winter and summer seasons, respectively. Isolates (128 strains) were identified by analyzing 16S ribosomal RNA sequences. The number of colonies and bacterial species from biofilms sampled in winter tended to be higher and...
متن کاملAnti -Bacterial Activity of Punica granatum Flower Extract against Several Gram-Negative and Positive Bacteria
Background and objectives: Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a major issue in the process of infectious disease treatments. The aim of this study was an evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Punica granatum flower extract against several gram-negative and positive clinical bacterial isolates. Methods: An adequate dried flower of an endemic mature Punica granatum plant was used for ex...
