Microbial glycolipoprotein-capped silver nanoparticles as emerging antibacterial agents against cholera
BACKGROUND With the increased number of cholera outbreaks and emergence of multidrug resistance in Vibrio cholerae strains it has become necessary for the scientific community to devise and develop novel therapeutic approaches against cholera. Recent studies have indicated plausibility of therapeutic application of metal nano-materials. Among these, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as ...
متن کاملSilver nanoparticles as potential antibacterial agents.
Multi-drug resistance is a growing problem in the treatment of infectious diseases and the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics has produced antibiotic resistance for many human bacterial pathogens. Advances in nanotechnology have opened new horizons in nanomedicine, allowing the synthesis of nanoparticles that can be assembled into complex architectures. Novel studies and technologies ...
متن کاملPolyethyleneimine Capped Silver Nanoclusters as Efficient Antibacterial Agents.
Development of efficient antibacterial agents is critical for human health. In the present study, we investigated the antibacterial activity of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-capped silver nanoclusters (PEI-AgNCs), based on the fact that nanoclusters normally have higher surface-to-volume ratios than traditional nanomaterials and PEI itself has a strong antimicrobial capacity. We synthesized stable si...
متن کاملVancomycin Capped with Silver Nanoparticles as an Antibacterial Agent against Multi-Drug Resistance Bacteria
Purpose: Many antimicrobial medications are available to combat infections. However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has produced antibiotic resistance in the case of many bacterial pathogens. This study focuses on the development of nanoparticles (NPs) that enhance the in vitro antibiotic activity of vancomycin against multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms. Methods: Spherical shaped thiog...
متن کاملDithiocarbamate-capped silver nanoparticles.
Nanometer-sized silver particles were synthesized by using didecylamine dithiocarbamates as the protecting ligands. With control of the initial ligand-metal feed ratios, the core diameter of the resulting particles was found to vary from about 5 to 2.5 nm, as determined by transmission electron microscopic measurements. The core size dispersity was also found to decrease with increasing feed ra...
