While antibiotic resistance in bacteria is rapidly increasing, the development of new antibiotics has decreased in recent years. Antivirulence drugs disarming rather than killing pathogens have been proposed to alleviate the problem of resistance inherent to existing biocidal antibiotics. Here, we report a nontoxic biogenic nanomaterial as a novel antivirulence agent to combat bacterial infecti...

Background: Recent theranostic (therapeutic or diagnostic) applications of tellurium nanoparticles have attracted a great interest for development of different methods for synthesis of this valuable nanostructure, especially via biological resources. Objectives: In the present study, the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of the tellurium nanorods (Te NRs) biosynthesized by a bacterial...

Bioreduction of selenium oxyanions to elemental is ubiquitous; elucidating the properties this biogenic (BioSe) thus important understand its environmental fate. In study, magnetic nanospheres (BioSe-Nanospheres) and nanorods (BioSe-Nanorods) obtained via reduction selenium(IV) using anaerobic granular sludge taken from an upflow blanket (UASB) reactor treating paper pulp wastewater were invest...

tio2 nanorods can be used as dye-sensitized solar cells and as various sensors and photocatalysts. these nanorods are synthesized by a using thermal corrosion process in a naoh solution at 200 oc with tio2 powder as a source material. in the present work, the synthesis of tio2 nanorods in anatase, rutile and ti8o15 phases and the synthesis of tio2 nanorods by using the sol-gel method and alkali...

self-assembly of densely packed zno nanorods were grown on porous silicon (ps) substrate by low-temperature chemical bath deposition. the structural and optical properties of the obtained zno nanostructures on ps substrate were systematically studied. the strong and sharp (002) peak compared with other peaks in the x-ray diffraction (xrd) indicated thatzno nanorods formed with superior orientat...

in this study, the tio2 nanorods were synthesized from p25 tio2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method in 10 m naoh solution. the effects of annealing temperatures on produced nanorods were investigated  by scanning  electron microscopy (sem) x-ray diffraction (xrd) and photoluminescence (pl) spectroscopy. diameter growth and  changes  of  surface  oxygen  defects of  synthesized nanorods are stu...

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorods were synthesized by hydrothermal method using Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant agent. To study optical, nanostructural properties, and to control the morphology and shape of nanorods, 0.025 mol L-1, 0.05 mol L-1 and 0.1 mol L-1 concentration of CTAB were used. Moreover, the effect of interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) A9418-5G protein...
