Antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of curcumin-silver nanoparticles with improved stability and selective toxicity to bacteria over mammalian cells
Swati Jaiswal,Prashant Mishra +1 more
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
Yugang Sun,Younan Xia +1 more
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.

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.
