Extracellular synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles by Sporosarcina koreensis DC4 and their biological applications

TL;DR: The present study highlights the microbial synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles by Sporosarcina koreensis DC4 strain, in an efficient way, and shows that 3μg concentration of silver nanoparticles sufficiently enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of commercial antibiotics against pathogenic microorganism.

Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of curcumin-silver nanoparticles with improved stability and selective toxicity to bacteria over mammalian cells

TL;DR: Curcumin-silver nanoparticles (Cur–AgNPs) of size 25–35 nm, were synthesized using curcumin, a phytochemical and were effective against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria and were less toxic to human keratinocytes.

Shape-Controlled Synthesis of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles

TL;DR: Monodisperse samples of silver nanocubes were synthesized in large quantities by reducing silver nitrate with ethylene glycol in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), characterized by a slightly truncated shape bounded by {100, {110}, and {111} facets.

Silver nanoparticles as antimicrobial agent: a case study on E. coli as a model for Gram-negative bacteria

TL;DR: These nontoxic nanomaterials, which can be prepared in a simple and cost-effective manner, may be suitable for the formulation of new types of bactericidal materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiseptics and Disinfectants: Activity, Action, and Resistance

TL;DR: Known mechanisms of microbial resistance (both intrinsic and acquired) to biocides are reviewed, with emphasis on the clinical implications of these reports.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Growth of Bacterial Cultures

TL;DR: Bacterial growth is considered as a method for the study of bacterial physiology and biochemistry, with the interpretation of quantitative data referring to bacterial growth limited to populations considered genetically homogeneous.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mechanistic study of the antibacterial effect of silver ions on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: The existence of elements of silver and sulfur in the electron-dense granules and cytoplasm detected by X-ray microanalysis suggested the antibacterial mechanism of silver: DNA lost its replication ability and the protein became inactivated after Ag(+) treatment.
