Abstract This article describes the size-controlled one-pot facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their antibacterial response against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. AgNPs coated with and without trisodium citrate (TSC) were synthesized using silver nitrate aqueous precursor and hydrazine as a reducing agent. The appearance of yellowish color with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) with maximum absorbance (λmax) at 416 nm from the ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectrum of the product indicated primarily the formation of the desired product. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the crystallinity of those products. Field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicated only spherical AgNPs formation. The existence of a functional group of chemically bonded surface capping agents is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and the themogravimetric analysis (TGA) weight loss assessment proved the attachment of good amount of capping agents. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopic analysis of products revealed the existence of high percentage (96.36%) of silver. Exposing the synthesized AgNPs to Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli bacteria, the zone inhibition was found to be 8 mm and 6 mm at a concentration of 50 mgL− 1, respectively. These results imply that TSC capped AgNPs can be considered as effective human pathogens for S. aureus and E. coli which is very inspiring.

Nanotechnology has great promise for improving the therapeutic potential of medicinal molecules and related agents. In this study, silver nanoparticles of different sizes were synthesized in an ultrasonic field using the chemical reduction method with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The size effect of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity were tested against the microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC No. 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC No. 441), Streptococcus mutans (MTCC No. 497), Escherichia coli (MTCC No. 739) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC No. 1934). The results shows that B. subtilis, and E. coli were more sensitive to silver nanoparticles and its size, indicating the superior antimicrobial efficacy of silver nanoparticles.

In order to improve the antibacterial performance of natural palygorskite, spindle-like ZnO/palygorskite (ZnO/PAL) nanocomposites with controllable growth of ZnO on the surface of PAL were prepared in the presence of non-ionic surfactants using an easy-to-operate hydrothermal method. The obtained ZnO/PAL nanocomposites have a novel and special spindle-shaped structure and good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and are also low cost. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of ZnO/PAL nanocomposites toward E. coli and S. aureus reached 1.5 and 5 mg/mL, respectively.

A series of new halo-substituted aroylhydrazones have been prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescence) and antifungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) activities by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method. Among the tested compounds, N′-(2-chloro-5-nitrobenzylidene)-2-fluorobenzohydrazide showed the most effective antimicrobial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 0.82, 2.5, 1.7, 15.2, and 37.5 μg mL–1 against B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, P. fluorescence, and C. albicans, respectively. The biological assay indicated that the presence of the electron-withdrawing groups in the aroylhydrazones improved their antimicrobial activities.

Nanosilver has been studied as a valuable material for it strong antibacterial effects. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial properties of nano silver Poly-L-Lactic acid (Ag/PLLA) composite fibrous membranes. Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes were prepared with silver nanoparticles having weight ratio of silver nanoparticles to PLLA at 5% (w/w). In vitro antibacterial tests were performed usingEscherichia coli(E. coli) andStaphylococcus aureus(Staph.) to determine the antibacterial capability of the Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes. As the results suggested, Ag/PLLA fibrous membranes showed strong antibacterial properties. Thus, Ag/PLLA fibrous membrane can be used as an antibacterial scaffold for tissue engineering.

An Ag-Ce-TiO2 composite film was prepared by incorporating Ag in the Ce-TiO2 films with an impregnation method through photoreduction. The bactericidal activity of the Ag-Ce-TiO2 composite film and the effect of deposition of silver and doping cerium in the different irradiations on the antibacterial performance were assessed against Escherichia coli (E. coli). TIhrough characterization of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectronic spectra (XPS) and UV/VIS diffusive reflectance spectra (DRS), it was found that the Ag-Ce-TiO2 composite film was composed of predominant anatase titania, cerium oxides (in the form of Ce2O3/CeO2) and silver nanoparticles. Moreover, the bactericidal activity of the Ag-Ce-TiO2 composite film and the effect of deposition of silver and doping cerium in the different irradiations on the antibacterial performance were assessed against Escherichia coli (E. coli). The results show that the Ag-Ce-TiO2 composite film has much higher antibacterial efficiency than that of glass and pure TiO2 film either in the room light or in the dark. Therefore, this composite film is promising in applications of antimicrobial and self-clean technologies.

Abstract Background While silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly attractive as an antibacterial agent in many applications, the effect of AgNPs on bacterial protein profiles, especially AgNPs stabilized by polymeric molecules, is not well understood. Objectives To investigate the changes in bacterial protein patterns by AgNPs capped with poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (AgNPs-PSSMA) polymer toward Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Methods The growth of bacteria after incubated with AgNPs-PSSMA for different time intervals was determined by optical density at 600 nm. Their protein patterns were observed using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and the proteomic analysis of extracted proteins was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Results AgNPs-PSSMA was able to inhibit the growth of both S. aureus and E. coli cells. The treated bacterial cells expressed more proteins than the untreated cells as seen from SDS-PAGE study. Nanosilver (NS) caused the upregulation of metabolic gene, waaA, in S. aureus cells. For E. coli cells, the upregulated proteins were metabolic genes (srlB, fliE, murD) and other genes dealt with DNA replication (dinG), DNA–RNA transcription (yrdD), RNA– protein translation (rplD), molecular transport (sapF), and signal transduction (tdcF). Conclusions The antibacterial effect of AgNPs-PSSMA may arise by changing the bacterial proteins and thus interfering with the normal cell function.

This paper describes the antibacterial performance of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) which have been synthesized by using p-aminobenzoic acid as reducing and stabilizing agent simultaneously. The silver nitrate with various concentrations was reacted with pH 11-adjusted p-aminobenzoic acid with a concentration of 5 × 10–3 mol L–1 for 30 min in a boiling water bath. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). The antibacterial performance of the synthesized AgNPs was evaluated by agar well diffusion method on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The higher silver nitrate concentration, the bigger the nanoparticle size, the wider particle size distribution, and the higher number of AgNPs formed. AgNPs synthesized from higher silver nitrate concentration had higher antibacterial activity. It is an indication that the antibacterial activity of AgNPs is mainly controlled by the silver ion concentration which influences the AgNPs particle size and existence of silver ion in the AgNPs colloidal solution
