Abstract:

An easy and rapid microwave-assisted green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out using aqueous bark extract of arjuna and their antibacterial and anti-biofilm potential was investigated. The AgNPs were characterized by various techniques .The FTIR data revealed the presence of plant organic constituents and metabolites bound to TA-AgNPs, which contributes for their stability. To elucidate the antibacterial efficacy and biofilm inhibition of Ta-AgNps against multidrug-resistant. Pathogenic E.coli harbouring the ESBLs. Treatment of TA-AgNps inhibited the growth of human pathogenic (both gram positive and gram negative) bacterial strains including Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 35659), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Further, the clinical isolates of E.coli that are resistant and susceptible to antibiotics are utilized to test the efficacy of TA-AgNps. In E.coli, ESBLS are responsible for antibiotic resistance. Moreover, docking study with T.arjuna phytochemical constituents confirmed that the phytochemical constituents present in TA-AgNPs interacted well with CTXM-15 and highest interaction was observed with tannic acid. Hence the expression of gene encoding CTXM-15 was screened in clinical isolates. Interestingly, the expression of CTXM-15 was not observed in samples treated with TA-AgNps. The results suggested that AgNPs of Terminalia arjuna bark extract can be used to control multidrug-resistant E.coli to prevent the antibiotic resistance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempted study to show the effectiveness of Ta-AgNps against multidrug-resistant E.coli harbouring CTXM-15.

Statins: antimicrobial resistance breakers or makers?

INTRODUCTION The repurposing of non-antibiotic drugs as adjuvant antibiotics may help break antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Statins are commonly prescribed worldwide to lower cholesterol. They also possess qualities of AMR "breakers", namely direct antibacterial activity, synergism with antibiotics, and ability to stimulate the host immune system. However, statins' role as AMR breakers may be l...

Synthesis of AgNPs by Bacillus Cereus Bacteria and Their Antimicrobial Potential

In the present work silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized extracellularly by bacteria Bacillus cereus collected from the riverine belt of Gangetic Plain of India. The microbes were isolated, screened and characterized by morphological and biochemical analyses. The silver resistant strain was exposed to different concentrations of silver salt (AgNO3). UV-visible spectrum of the supernata...

Potential for antimicrobial resistance in Chlamydia pneumoniae.

Antimicrobial resistance has not yet been described in wild type Chlamydia pneumoniae isolates, nor has selective emergence of resistance in the laboratory after exposure to subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotic. However, few clinical isolates have been tested for resistance, especially strains with resistance phenotypes (i.e., those associated with clinical failure or persistence). More w...

Tannic acid-modified silver nanoparticles for wound healing: the importance of size

Introduction Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been shown to promote wound healing and to exhibit antimicrobial properties against a broad range of bacteria. In our previous study, we prepared tannic acid (TA)-modified AgNPs showing a good toxicological profile and immunomodulatory properties useful for potential dermal applications. Methods In this study, in vitro scratch assay, antimicrobia...

The Avoidance of Potential Drug Residues and Antimicrobial Resistance

A residue is any substance which is left behind in the tissues of an animal which has been treated with that substance. Drug residues are most commonly the result of the failure of the elimination of the drug from the edible portions of the animal because insufficient time was allowed between the last treatment and slaughter of the animal. Residues found in beef above tolerable levels can occur...

Are the public getting the message about antimicrobial resistance?

Raising public awareness of the need to use antibiotics appropriately is a major focus of the UK Government's strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance. To investigate the public's views on antibiotic use and resistance we conducted a survey of 120 people as part of patient engagement activities held at University College London Hospital in June 2015.
