Objective: Development of resistance against many of the commonly used antibiotics is an impetus for further efforts to search for new antimicrobial agents. The aim of the study was determined as antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles produced by Plantago ovata seed extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: All 30 strains of P. aeruginosa wereisolated f...

There is a growing interest in zirconia ceramics due to their high flexural strength, excellent corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. The assembly of advanced material with functions sensing, actuation controlling solve the problems that may arise during its use critical ensure long-term service performance. Within this context, objective work analyse structural health samples by scre...

Using model peptides, each of the nine MX2H or HXnM (n = 1, 2) motifs of the silver resistance protein SilE has been shown to coordinate to one Ag+ ion by its histidine and methionine residues with Kd in the μM range. This suggests an Ag+ buffering role for SilE in the case of high Ag+ overload.

studies on biomedical applications of nanoparticles are growing with a rapid pace. in medicine, nanoparticles may be the solution for multi-drug-resistance which is still a major drawback in chemotherapy of cancer. in the present study, we investigated the potential cytotoxic effect of silver nanoparticles (ag nps) and silver ions (ag+) in both parent and tamoxifen-resistant t47d cells in prese...

A strain of Enterobacter cloacae from a burn wound has displayed unstable resistance to silver nitrate and a linkage of this characteristic to that for rapid lactose fermentation and mucoidcolony structure. Attempts to demonstrate transferability of these unstable determinants gave negative results.
