چکیده

The in vitro activity of the silver nitrate was assessed in comparison with that of natamycin against 128 corneal Fusarium isolates and 90 corneal Aspergillus isolates. MIC(90)s of silver nitrate were 2 microg/ml for Fusarium spp. and 1 microg/ml for Aspergillus spp. MIC(90)s of natamycin were 8 microg/ml for Fusarium spp. and 32 microg/ml for Aspergillus spp. Silver nitrate exhibited potent antifungal activity against ocular fungi in vitro.

Evaluation of in vitro Antimicrobial, Antidiabetic and Antioxidant Potential of Alyssum homalocarpum and Green Synthesis of the Silver Nanoparticles

In the present work synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Alyssum homalocarpum (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) Boiss. extract has been considered. The methanolic extract of A. homalocarpum was concentrated and analyzed using Gas Chromatogra. Also silver nanoparticles were synthesized by the bio-reduction of silver nitrate solution (1 mm) using the methanol extract. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and...

Synthesis, morphological, characterization and evaluation of antibacterial effects of Silver-Polyaniline nanocomposites against Escherichia coli

Silver-Polyaniline (Ag-PANI) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) solution as an emulsifier. The synthesis of Silver-Polyaniline nanocomposites was investigated as a function of several parameters such as aniline concentration, concentration of emulsifier (AOT), concentration of oxidation agent and c...

Effect of colloidal silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate on hematological indices of Zayandehrud Chub (Petroleuciscus esfahani)

Effects of different concentrations of silver nanoparticles and silver nitrate on some hematological indices of Zayanderud Chub (Petroleuciscus esfahani) were investigated. One hundred individuals of the fish (average weight 26.4 ± 1.3 g) were divided into 5 experimental groups, exposed to 1 or 25 µg/L of silver nano or silver nitrate or unpolluted water as control for 10 days. At the end, prim...
