Synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) has weak antibacterial and mechanical properties. The antibacterial activity of HAp can be enhanced by strontium cation substitution and incorporation of peroxide ion via hydrothermal processing at 100 °C and 150 °C temperature using 50% H2O2 solution. The starting reagents and products of HAp processing were analyzed by thermal conversion elemental analyser – isotopic ratio mass spectrometer in order to determine the δ18O values. Using different host materials it could be possible to determine differences of δ18O values between untreated and hydrothermally treated HAp samples. The enhanced antibacterial properties of processed HAp samples were investigated using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Hydrothermal processing by H2O2 solutions provides additional antibacterial activity and peroxide content of hydrothermally treated samples affect δ18O values.

Cellulose and chitosan are natural polymers that have been used as biocomposite. The aim of this research is to obtain biofilms from chitosan and oxidized cellulose crosslinks. This research is divided into three steps, i.e., isolation of cellulose from oil palm trunk and oxidation of cellulose using NaIO4 (0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0 mg/mL) to obtain dialdehyde cellulose (DAC), crosslink of oxidized cellulose with chitosan (DD = 72.85%) to obtain biofilm of chitosan/DAC (CDAC), and characterization of biofilms. The crosslinked reaction was confirmed by FT-IR analysis that showed the spectrum of Schiff base C=N group at 1651 cm–1. Tensile strength increased gradually when the NaIO4 concentration used was 0.2–0.6 mg/mL, but after those concentrations, the tensile strength slightly decreased. The morphology analysis showed that CDAC had smoother morphology than DAC, which was shown rough and showed some particle indicated the presence of unreacted cellulose. CDAC biofilms that prepared with 1.0 mg/mL NaIO4 showed the greatest antibacterial activity.

Recently, a wound healing from natural composite with excellent properties is in a high demand. In this study, a novel composite of bacterial cellulose made from Siwalan sap (Borassus flabellifer) was achieved. Siwalan is a common plant in Java Island of Indonesia and the application is very limited for beverage only. This study aims to determine the effect of the AgNO3/NaBH4 concentration ratio in the development of Ag-BC composites and its antibacterial properties from Siwalan sap. Ag-BC composites were prepared by impregnating the silver solution into the BC matrix through the reduction process with NaBH4. Characterization of Ag-BC composites conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). Antibacterial assay was performed using disc diffusion method against Salmonella typhimurium (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) bacteria. The characterization of Ag-BC composite shows the nanostructure of BC with a length of fiber around 35-60 nm in width. The SEM-EDX micrograph showed that silver particles were impregnated into the BC matrix. Antibacterial activity test results showed that the Ag-BC composite had the ability to inhibit the bacteria S. typhimurium and S. aureus with good inhibition. This result showed the potential application of Ag-BC composite from Siwalan plant as a natural material for medical and pharmaceutical purpose, especially as an antibacterial agent.

In this study, nanofibers with different ratios of poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan incorporated with moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MH/PVA/CS) were fabricated through the blending electrospinning, and the morphological features were tested using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Further characterization of the new nanofiber was accomplished by Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Antibacterial activity of the MH-loaded nanofibers at different drug loading were tested and compared with the blank group. Experimental results show that the MH/PVA/CS nanofibers exhibited the good antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa due to the MH incorporation. Compared with blank nanofibers, MH/PVA/CS nanofibers have significantly better antibacterial properties, and different proportions of PVA and CS have a certain effect on the antibacterial activity of nanofibers. The conclusions in this paper show that MH/PVA/CS composite nanofibers may have great potential in antibacterial materials.

AbstractIn the light of promising potency of selenium nanoparticles in biomedical applications, this is the first study to report the synergistic antibacterial activity of these nanoparticles and lysozyme. The nanohybrid system was prepared with various concentrations of each component. Resistance of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was compared in the presence of individual Nano and Bio counterparts as well as the nanohybrid system. Upon interaction of SeNPs with Lysozyme, the nanohybrid system efficiently enhanced the antibacterial activity compared to the protein. Therefore, SeNPs play an important role in inhibition of bacterial growth at very low concentrations of protein; whereas very high amount of the protein is required to inhibit bacterial growth individually. On the other hand, lysozyme has also played a vital role in antibacterial property of SeNPs, inducing 100% inhibition at very low concentration of each component. Hence, presence of both nano and bio counterparts induced vital interplay in the Nanohybrid system. The aged samples also presented good stability of SeNPs both as the intact and complex form. Results of this effort highlight design of nanohybrid systems with synergistic antibacterial properties to overcome the emerging antibiotic resistance as well as to define fruitful applications in biomedicine and food safety.

Extraction of dyes from walnut using Soxhlet apparatus has been studied. The color components extracted and isolated from walnut shells were characterized by column chromatography, thin layer chromatography (TLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectroscopy (MS), and infrared (IR) techniques. Natural dye extract obtained from the walnut was used in dyeing polyamide fabrics with different mordants. The dyed fabrics were evaluated for antibacterial activity against pathogenic strains of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. As such, the relationship between antibacterial activity and dye concentration is investigated. Durability of antibacterial activity to laundering is also discussed. Results indicate that the polyamide dyed with walnut displayed excellent antibacterial activity in the presence of ferric sulfate, cupric sulfate, and potassium aluminum sulfate and exhibited good and durable fastness properties.

The Present work describes the preparation of nanocomposites based on chitosan (QS)/copper nanoparticles (nCu) with antibacterial properties and potential application in tissue engineering. For this purpose, nanocomposites were prepared by solution blending with ultrasound assisted, aiming to increase the nanoparticles dispersion in the biopolymer. FTIR analyses demonstrates that nCu supported in QS increase their interaction of nanoparticles with amine/hydroxyl groups of QS molecule. UV-Vis analyses demonstrates that QS/nCu nanocomposites have an absorption signal associated with the presence of nanoparticles and the possible Cu2+ ions release in liquid media. AFM analyses shown that hydrated QS form a mesh with micro pores, improving the bacterial penetration and the direct contact with nCu. This behavior was corroborated by antibacterial assays, where QS/nCu nanocomposites shown an antibacterial activity higher than 90% between 90-180 minutes of interaction. Our results suggest that is possible to obtain combined antibacterial/biocompatible nanomaterials with potential application in tissue engineering.

The aim of this study is to investigate the antibacterial properties and characterization of chitosan-silver nanoparticle composite materials. Chitosan-silver nanoparticle composite material was synthesized by adding AgNO3and NaOH solutions to chitosan solution at 95°C. Different concentrations (0,02 M, 0,04 M, and 0,06 M) of AgNO3were used for synthesis. Chitosan-silver nanoparticle composite materials were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer techniques.Escherichia coli,Acinetobacter baumannii,Staphylococcus aureus,Enterococcus faecalis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andStreptococcus pneumoniaewere used to test the bactericidal efficiency of synthesized chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composite materials. The biological activity was determined by the minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) of the materials. Antibacterial effect of chitosan-silver nanoparticle materials was increased by increasing Ag amount of the composite materials. The presence of small amount of metal nanoparticles in the composite was enough to significantly enhance antibacterial activity as compared with pure chitosan.
