Silver nanoparticles are broad-spectrum bactericidal and virucidal compounds
The advance in nanotechnology has enabled us to utilize particles in the size of the nanoscale. This has created new therapeutic horizons, and in the case of silver, the currently available data only reveals the surface of the potential benefits and the wide range of applications. Interactions between viral biomolecules and silver nanoparticles suggest that the use of nanosystems may contribute...
متن کاملThe bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles.
Nanotechnology is expected to open new avenues to fight and prevent disease using atomic scale tailoring of materials. Among the most promising nanomaterials with antibacterial properties are metallic nanoparticles, which exhibit increased chemical activity due to their large surface to volume ratios and crystallographic surface structure. The study of bactericidal nanomaterials is particularly...
متن کاملSynergistic Bactericidal Activity of Silver Nanoparticles and Ciprofloxacin against Phytopathogens
The present study is to concentrate on the synergistic bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles and ciproflaxacin against Pseudomonas solanocearum, Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas malvacearum and Xanthomonas campestris. Silver nanoparticles were prepared in 0.1mM, 0.2 mM and 0.3 mM by Spirulina platensis. It exhibited anti microbial activity against all phytopathogens with varying degrees....
متن کاملKibdelomycin is a bactericidal broad-spectrum aerobic antibacterial agent.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics continues to grow and pose serious challenges, while the discovery rate for new antibiotics declines. Kibdelomycin is a recently discovered natural-product antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting the bacterial DNA replication enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It was reported to be a broad-spectrum aerobic Gram-positive agent with select...
متن کاملLeveraging the Attributes of Mucor hiemalis-Derived Silver Nanoparticles for a Synergistic Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Platform
Driven by the need to engineer robust surface coatings for medical devices to prevent infection and sepsis, incorporation of nanoparticles has surfaced as a promising avenue to enhance non-fouling efficacy. Microbial synthesis of such nanoscale metallic structures is of substantive interest as this can offer an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable route for further development. Here we...
