Abstract:

Plants are rich source of natural products used for centuries to cure various the plant-derived medicines are based upon the premise that they contain natural substances that can promote health and alleviate illness. Silver NPs represent material, which can be used as a potential antibacterial agent in medical applications and different commercial products due to its biological activity. Recently, silver NPs as well as various silver-based compounds containing ionic silver (Ag+), exhibiting high antimicrobial activity, have been synthesized. Due to its biological activity. This study aimed to determine the effect of silver nanoparticles combined with Taxus baccata L. In this study the use with Hydroalcohlic extract Taxus baccata L. of method maceration (soaking) was prepared. Also antibacterial/antifungal activities of Compounds (extract, AgNPs, mixture of extract with AgNPs) were tested against three Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (ATCC33218), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC150504) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC1827)  and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25293) and also fungi Aspergillus oryzae (ATCC20423). This research combines the inherent antimicrobial activity of silver metals with the Taxus baccata extract, yielding antibacterial activity-enhanced AgNPs.

Synergistic reaction of silver nitrate, silver nanoparticles, and methylene blue against bacteria.

In this paper we describe the antibacterial effect of methylene blue, MB, and silver nitrate reacting alone and in combination against five bacterial strains including Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli bacteria. The data presented suggest that when the two components are combined and react together against bacteria, the effects can be up to three orders of magnitude greater than that of ...

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles and its synergistic effects in combination with imipenem and two biocides against biofilm producing Acinetobacter baumannii

Objectives:Biofilms are communities of bacteria attached to surfaces through an external polymeric substances matrix. In the meantime, Acinetobacterbaumannii is the predominant species related to nosocomial infections. In the present study, the effect of silver nanoparticles alone and in combination with biocides and imipenem against planktonic and biofilms of A. baumannii was assessed.  Materi...

Synergistic 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....
