Silver Fluoride

Silver nanoparticles were produced with AgF as the starting Ag(I) salt, with pectin as the reductant and protecting agent. While the obtained nanoparticles (pAgNP-F) have the same dimensional and physicochemical properties as those already described by us and obtained from AgNO3 and pectin (pAgNP-N), the silver nanoparticles from AgF display an increased antibacterial activity against E. coli PHL628 and Staphylococcus epidermidis RP62A (S. epidermidis RP62A), both as planktonic strains and as their biofilms with respect to pAgNP-N. In particular, a comparison of the antimicrobial and antibiofilm action of pAgNP-F has been carried out with pAgNP-N, pAgNP-N and added NaF, pure AgNO3, pure AgF, AgNO3 and added NaF and pure NaNO3 and NaF salts. By also measuring the concentration of the Ag+ cation released by pAgNP-F and pAgNP-N, we were able to unravel the separate contributions of each potential antibacterial agent, observing an evident synergy between p-AgNP and the F− anion: the F− anion increases the antibacterial power of the p-AgNP solutions even when F− is just 10 µM, a concentration at which F− alone (i.e., as its Na+ salt) is completely ineffective.

The antibacterial activity of three Cupressaceae plants (Thujaoccidentalis,ThujaorientalisandChamaecyparisobtusa) was tested against three bacteria using the agar diffusion method. The ether and ethylacetate fraction of crude methanol extract from the three plants showed potent antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms. The result showed that Staphylococcus aureus revealed the most sensitivity among the tested bacteria. Thujaoccidentalisether fraction and Thujaorientalis hexane fraction exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. E. coli was shown the highest MIC values compared to the other two tested bacteria, which indicates the lowest antibacterial activity against the bacterium. This study promises an interesting future for designing a potentially active antibacterial agent from the three Cupressaceae plants.

Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles

This research aimed to enhance the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO3) using aloe vera extract. It was performed by means of incorporating AgNPs on an activated carbon nanoparticle (ACNPs) under ultrasonic agitation (40 kHz, 2 × 50 watt) for 30 min in an aqueous colloidal medium. The successful AgNPs synthesis was clarified with both Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers. The successful AgNPs–ACNPs incorporation and its particle size analysis was performed using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The brown color suspension generation and UV-Vis’s spectra maximum wavelength at around 480 nm confirmed the existence of AgNPs. The particle sizes of the produced AgNPs were about 5 to 10 nm in the majority number, which collectively surrounded the aloe vera extract secondary metabolites formed core-shell like nanostructure of 8.20 ± 2.05 nm in average size, while ACNPs themselves were about 20.10 ± 1.52 nm in average size formed particles cluster, and 48.00 ± 8.37 nm in average size as stacking of other particles. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs and AgNPs-immobilized ACNPs was 57.58% and 63.64%, respectively (for E. coli); 61.25%, and 93.49%, respectively (for S. aureus). In addition, when the AgNPs-immobilized ACNPs material was coated on the cotton and polyester fabrics, the antibacterial activity of the materials changed, becoming 19.23% (cotton; E. coli), 31.73% (polyester; E. coli), 13.36% (cotton; S. aureus), 21.15% (polyester; S. aureus).

Multidrug resistance of bacteria is an emerging human health hazard and warrants development of novel antibacterial agents with more effective mode of action. Here, zinc oxide and silver nanomaterials were prepared using Ficus palmata Forssk leaf extract with efficient antibacterial activity. SEM coupled with EDS confirmed the spherical symmetry with average particle diameter 50 to 65 nm while the XRD confirmed crystalline face centered cubic structure of silver and hexagonal crystallize phase of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity was evaluated for 8 pathogenic bacterial strains including 3 drug resistant pathogenic strains. The nanoparticles showed enhanced growth inhibition for resistant strains in comparison with the broad-spectrum antibiotics i.e. roxithromycin and cefixime. Minimum inhibitory concentration in μg.mL<sup>-1</sup> of silver nanoparticles was found to be as low as 33.3 for resistant Streptococcus haemolyticus; 11.1 for Staphylococcus aureus and E Coli; and 3.7 μg.mL<sup>-1</sup> for resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Similarly, the minimum inhibitory concentration of zinc oxide nanoparticles was found to be 100 μg.mL<sup>-1</sup> against resistant Streptococcus haemolyticus and Staphylococcus aureus; 11.1 μg.mL<sup>-1</sup> for resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa; and 3.7 μg.mL<sup>-1</sup> against resistant E coli. Ficus palmata Forssk leaf extracts can be explored effectively for synthesizing active antibacterial nanomaterials as a non-toxic and environmentally benign synthesis route.

Metal nanoparticles possess an extensive scientific and technological significance due to their unique physiochemical properties and their potential applications in different fields like medicine. Silver and gold nanoparticles have shown to have antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. Conventional methods used in the synthesis of the metal nanoparticles involve use of toxic chemicals making them unsuitable for use in medical field. In our continued effort to explore for simple and eco-friendly methods to synthesize the metal nanoparticles, we here describe synthesis and characterization of gold and silver nanoparticles using Gonaderma lucidum, wild non-edible medicinal mushroom. G. lucidum mushroom contain bioactive compounds which can be involved in the reduction, capping and stabilization of the nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity analysis was done on E. coli and S. aureus. The synthesis was done on ultrasonic bath. Characterization of the metal nanoparticles was done by UV-VIS., High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) and FTIR. HRTEM analysis showed that both silver and gold nanoparticles were spherical in shape with an average size of 15.82±3.69 nm for silver and 24.73±5.124nm for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). FTIR analysis showed OH and -C=C- stretching vibrations, an indication of presence of functional groups of biomolecules capping both gold and silver nanoparticles. AgNPs showed inhibition zones of 15.5±0.09mm and 13.3±0.14mm while AuNPs had inhibition zones of 14.510±0.35 and 13.3±0.50mm on E. coli and S. aureus respectively. The findings indicate the potential use of AgNPs and AuNPs in development of drugs in management of pathogenic bacteria.

The respiration and growth of 5 strains each of Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in fresh normal rat and rabbit sera were measured. S. aureus grew and oxidized the sera of these animals better than S. epidermidis. Both S. aureus and S. epidermidis grew and respired more actively in rabbit than in rat serum. The antibacterial activity of rat or rabbit serum was stable to heating at 56 °C for 1 h, but its activity was destroyed after heating at 60 °C for 2 h. Treatment of rat and rabbit sera with 0.4 M sodium citrate drastically reduced the antibacterial activity of these sera. Once the sera had been treated with sodium citrate or oxalate, addition of equimolar solutions of calcium chloride or magnesium chloride failed to restore the antibacterial activity of rat and rabbit sera. Addition of ferric ions at concentrations which are not normally found in rat and rabbit sera reversed the inhibitory activity of these sera, thus allowing coagulase-negative strains of staphylococci to grow well in rat and rabbit sera. The antibacterial agent of rat or rabbit serum was absorbed by heat-killed cells of S. aureus and S. epidermidis; treatment with bentonite at a concentration of 100 mg/ml absorbed the antibacterial agent from rabbit serum but only partially from rat serum. The high levels of the antibacterial agent in rat serum may explain the partial removal of this agent by bentonite and may contribute to the marked resistance of the rat to staphylococcal infection.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) possess excellent antibacterial properties and are considered to be an alternative material for treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The present study was aimed at enhancing the antibacterial efficiency of Ag-NPs using visible laser light against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Four concentrations of Ag-NPs (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml), synthesized by the chemical reduction method, were utilized to conduct the antibacterial activity of prepared Ag-NPs. The antibacterial efficiencies of photoactivated Ag-NPs against both bacteria were determined by survival assay after exposure to laser irradiation. The mechanism of interactions between Ag-NPs and the bacterial cell membranes was then evaluated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and reactive oxygen species analysis to study the cytotoxic action of photoactivated Ag-NPs against both bacterial species. Results showed that the laser-activated Ag-NP treatment reduced the surviving population to 14% of the control in the E. coli population, while the survival in the S. aureus population was reduced to 28% of the control upon 10 min exposure time at the concentration of 50 μg/ml. However, S. aureus showed lower sensitivity after photoactivation compared to E. coli. Moreover, the effects depended on the concentration of Ag-NPs and exposure time to laser light. SEM images of treated bacterial cells indicated that substantial morphological changes occurred in cell membranes after treatment. The results suggested that Ag-NPs in the presence of visible light exhibit strong antibacterial activity which could be used to inactivate harmful and pathogenic microorganisms.
