Biological activity of synthesized silver nanoparticles on S. aureus and P. aeruginosa

Antimicrobial Effects of Zinc Oxide and Silver Nitrate Nanoparticles on S. aureus, A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa

Background and Objective: Nanoparticles have been introduced as novel antimicrobial agents because of their properties that are different from their bulk properties. Present study was aimed to investigate antimicrobial activity of silver nitrate and zinc oxide nanoparticles against three main bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii. Materials a...

Biological activity of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles depends on the applied natural extracts: a comprehensive study

Due to obvious disadvantages of the classical chemical methods, green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. Numerous environmentally benign synthesis methods have been developed yielding nanoparticles via low-cost, eco-friendly, and simple approaches. In this study, our aim was to determine the suitability of coffee and green tea extracts in gre...

Chirality of silver nanoparticles synthesized on DNA.

Silver nanocrystals grown on a poly(dG)-poly(dC) double stranded DNA scaffold displayed circular dichroism at their surface plasmon excitation band. This chiral plasmon signature was not observed in a control experiment where silver nanocrystals of similar size were produced without the DNA template and adsorbed to the DNA. It is concluded that the DNA templated Ag nanocrystals had a preferred ...

effect of silver nanoparticles on the antibacterial activity of different antibiotics against staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa

Antimicrobial activity of Silver Nanoparticles synthesized by using Medicinal Plants

Biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (SNPs) are being widely using in the field of medicine. Extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out by using medicinal plant extracts for the reduction of aqueous silver ions in short period. The silver nanoparticles formation was confirmed by the colour change of plant extracts (SNPs) and further confirmed with the help of UV...
