Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Acrylamide Composite Against Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria

In the current study, synthesis and characterization of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and its application as anti-pathogenic bacteria were investigated. ZnO which has been prepared by using aqueous of green tea leaves extract (Camellia sinensis) as a reducing agent. The wavelength range was measured by Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) for monitoring the formation of the nanoparticles, which showed sharp peak at 360 nm. The average size and shape of the nanoparticles were detected by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) which was 88 nm with spherical shape. Fourier transform–infrared (FTIR). FT-IR spectra was documented for the ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by green tea extract to detect the biomolecules involved in the synthesis process. The antibacterial activity of crystal Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was explored against pathogenic bacteria that included Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The antibacterial test was conducted in solid media using different concentrations of ZnO and disk diffusion method, 100 µg/ml presented the best antibacterial activity, and further studies on the damage of bacterial genomic DNA of Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii were carried out using gel electrophoresis exposed the DNA fragment bands, this activity may be caused by the interactions between the surface charge of cell and nanoparticles. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) properties of the particles might disturb cell wall and great antimicrobial action

Promising Alternative

Recently, the biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from crude extracts and phytochemicals has attracted much attention. Green synthesis of NPs is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and is a promising alternative for chemical synthesis. This study involves ZnO NPs synthesis using Rubus fairholmianus root extract (RE) as an efficient reducing agent. The UV spectrum of RE-ZnO NPs exhibited a peak at 357 nm due to intrinsic bandgap absorption and an XRD pattern that matches the ZnO crystal structure (JCPDS card no: 36-1451). The average particle size calculated from the Debye–Scherrer equation is 11.34 nm. SEM analysis showed that the RE-ZnO NPs spherical in shape with clusters (1–100 nm). The antibacterial activity of the NPs was tested against Staphylococcus aureus using agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration, and bacterial growth assay. The R. fairholmianus phytochemicals facilitate the synthesis of stable ZnO NPs and showed antibacterial activity.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.
