New green synthesis of Ag-nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using O-Carboxymethyl Chitosan (O-CMCs) as stabilizing agent and ascorbic acid as reducing agent was achieved. The reaction was carried out in an autoclave at a pressure of 0.12 MPa and a temperature of 120°C at varying concentrations of solution precursors and different reaction times. The size, shape and structure of Ag-NPs were measured using transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), FT-IR and UV spectrophotometers. The Ag-NPs stabilized in O-CMCs were blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer solution and then electrospun to produce wound dressing nanofibers with high antibacterial activity. The morphological study of O-CMCs/ PVA/Ag-NPs nanofiber membranes was characterized using SEM. Finally, the release behavior of Ag-NPs from these nanofibers was examined and the antibacterial activity was measured against some skin pathogenic bacteria and fungi using the agar diffusion method. The newly developed membranes show a unique antibacterial activity against the tested strains and were presented as promising active wound dressing materials in medical applications.

This study focuses on the biological activities of eleven chitosan products with a viscosity-average molecular weight ranging from 22 to 846 kDa in combination with the most active monoterpenes (geraniol and thymol), out of 10 tested, against four plant pathogenic bacteria,Agrobacterium tumefaciens,Erwinia carotovora,Corynebacterium fascians, andPseudomonas solanacearum. The antibacterial activity was evaluatedin vitroby the agar dilution technique as a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) that was found to be dependent on the type of the microorganism tested. The most active product of chitosan was used for biofilm production enriched with geraniol and thymol (0.1 and 0.5%) and the films were also evaluated against the tested bacteria. The biological bioactivities summarized here may provide novel insights into the functions of chitosan and some monoterpenes and potentially allow their use for food protection from microbial attack.
