Silver 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 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 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 کاملSilver-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 a Smart Antimicrobial Agent
In modern medicine the resistance to conventional antibiotics is becoming a serious concern due to high instances of mortality. Several metallic nanoparticles are suggested as promising anti-microbial agents against multidrug-resistant bacteria and some viruses. Among the nanoparticles mentioned, we review the recent finding which demonstrate the impact of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial ...
