This book chapter is organized into four major parts. Firstly, it will cover an introduction of using spinel ferrite nanoparticles in biomedical applications, including the antibacterial properties. The second part will provide an overview of the structure and magnetism of spinel ferrites. The third part will focus on the preparation of cobalt ferrite and transition metal substituted cobalt fer...

Objective(s): Development of a nanobiosystem by using plant essential oils with green synthesized silver nanoparticles that present synergistic antibacterial activity for overcoming antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. Material and Methods: Essential oils (EOs) of Kelussia odoratissima and Teucrium polium extracted by hydrodistillation were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrome...

Chitosan-pectin, chitosan-alginate and chitosan-pectin-alginate scaffolds were prepared by freeze-drying technique. The physicochemical characteristics of the scaffolds were characterized by FTIR and SEM. The biological activities like antibacterial assessment, swelling behavior, biodegradation and cytotoxicity study of the prepared scaffolds were evaluated. The results show high swelling prope...

In this study, Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were synthesized by chemical method and their antibacterial efficiency against a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus aureus was studied. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles have shown a commendable inhibition effect on the growth of most notorious bacterial pathogen S.aureus. The nanoparticles size and shapes were characterized by trans...

Resveratrol (5-[(E)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]benzene-1,3-diol), a redox active phytoalexin with a large number of beneficial activities is also known for antibacterial property. However the mechanism of action of resveratrol against bacteria remains unknown. Due to its extensive redox property it was envisaged if reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by resveratrol could be a reason behind...

Objective - to evaluate both in-vivo and in-vitro antibacterial property of Aloe vera.L fresh gel. Design - experimental study. Animals - five adult male mixed breed dogs aged 2-4 years. Procedures - for in-vivo experiment, under general anesthesia and sterile condition 8 symmetrical full-thickness wounds measured 2 cm×2 cm were surgically created on the back of each dogs o...

Ten herbal products, made up of five powdery and liquid samples different brands, were assessed microbiologically for the presence types microorganisms. Qualitative quantitative phytochemical screening above was also conducted to verify or absence bioactive components. bacterial species, viz: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, Pseudomonas aeruginos...
