Journal ArticleDOI
Silver Colloid Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Their Antibacterial Activity
Aleš Panáček,Libor Kvítek,Robert Prucek,Milan Kolar,Renata Vecerova,N. Pizúrová,Virender K. Sharma,Tat’jana Nevečná,Radek Zboril +8 more
TL;DR: The reduction of [Ag(NH(3))(2)](+) by maltose produced silver particles with a narrow size distribution with an average size of 25 nm, which showed high antimicrobial and bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including highly multiresistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Surfactants and Polymers on Stability and Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles (NPs)
Libor Kvítek,Aleš Panáček,Jana Soukupova,Milan Kolář,Renata Večeřová,Robert Prucek,and Mirka Holecová,Radek Zbořil +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of various surfactants and polymers on aggregation stability and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by a modified Tollens process was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles against Candida spp.
Aleš Panáček,Milan Kolář,Renata Večeřová,Robert Prucek,Jana Soukupova,Vladimír Kryštof,Petr Hamal,Radek Zbořil,Libor Kvítek +8 more
TL;DR: The antifungal activity of the silver nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by the modified Tollens process was evaluated for pathogenic Candida spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported that the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli 013, Pseudomonas aeruginosa CCM 3955 and E. coli CCM 3954 can develop resistance to silver nanoparticles after repeated exposure, and the resistance mechanism cannot be overcome by additional stabilization ofsilver nanoparticles using surfactants or polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
