Silver-coated nylon fiber as an antibacterial agent.
A blend of nylon fiber and silver-coated nylon fiber (the latter known as X-static) was used in these experiments. This fiber was bactericidal when bacteria were exposed to it directly or to an extract derived from its prior incubation in salt solution. At ambient temperatures, a rapid exponential decrease of survival occurred, usually after a delay of approximately 1 h. The rate of killing (de...
متن کاملSilver nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent for endodontic infections
Materials and method Silver nanoparticles have gained more attention owing to their broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and low cost of manufacturing. In the present study, starch coated silver nanoparticle were synthesized and characterized by SEM/ EDX and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Starch coated nanosilver was tested for their antibacterial activity against various microorganisms that are comm...
متن کاملSilver-nylon: a new antimicrobial agent.
The potential effectiveness of a silver nylon (SN) fabric as an antimicrobial agent was evaluated in a series of in vitro experiments. The results indicated that silver ions from the SN fabric penetrated 2 mm of agar and killed a challenge of 6.9 X 10(7) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 4.1 X 10(7) Staphylococcus aureus, and 1.4 X 10(7) Candida albicans organisms per cm2 of SN fabric after 24 h of incub...
متن کاملPotential of silver nanoparticle-coated polyurethane foam as an antibacterial water filter.
Silver nanoparticles can be coated on common polyurethane (PU) foams by overnight exposure of the foams to nanoparticle solutions. Repeated washing and air-drying yields uniformly coated PU foam, which can be used as a drinking water filter where bacterial contamination of the surface water is a health risk. Nanoparticles are stable on the foam and are not washed away by water. Morphology of th...
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...
