BACKGROUND Wound infection is a common problem in hospitals and is typically caused by the antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a major pathogen for skin and soft tissue infections worldwide. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic antibacterial effect of plant peptide MBP-1 and silver nanoparticles on infected wounds caused by S. aureus. MATERIAL...

in order to examine the effects of silver, zinc, nickel, zinc- copper nanoparticles on germination, seedling establishment, and enzyme activity of alfalfa seeds, a factorial experimental was conducted in a randomized complete design with three replications in the seed laboratory, college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran in karaj. the objective of this study was to dete...

The antimicrobial effect of metal nanoparticles such as zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles has been taken into great consideration separately during recent years. The useful application of these nanoparticles in the areas of medicine, biotechnology, and professional prevention of microbes motivated us. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity properties of silver doped zinc...

Nano-silver (AgNP) has biological properties which are significant for consumer products, food technology, textiles and medical applications (e.g. wound care products, implantable medical devices, in diagnosis, drug delivery, and imaging). For their antibacterial activity, silver nanoparticles are largely used in various commercially available products. Thus, the use of nano-silver is becoming ...

background: in recent years, silver nanoparticles due to their antimicrobial properties, have formed about 56% of nanoparticles global production. since the released nanoparticles ultimately enter water ecosystems, their maximum toxic effects are magnified in aquatic ecosystems. the aim of this study is to show how salinity can decrease the toxic effects of silver nanoparticles on exposed rainb...

Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) exhibit magnificent applications in medicine as antimicrobial agent. The use of different plant parts for the synthesis of nanoparticles is considered as a green technology. This technology is one of the best eco-friendly method and does not gives any harmful effect. The present study deals with the flower extract of medicinal plant Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and to eval...

Background: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. Objectives: The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...
