Antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was investigated using Staphylococcus
aureus PTCC1431 as a model of Gram-positive bacteria. The mechanism of antibacterial …

The antibacterial activity and mechanism of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P were investigated in this study. The experiment results …

The antibacterial activity and acting mechanism of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) on
Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 were investigated in this study by analyzing the growth …

The antimicrobial effects of silver (Ag) ion or salts are well known, but the effects of Ag
nanoparticles on microorganisms and antimicrobial mechanism have not been revealed …

Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by measuring the growth curves, protein and
reducing sugar leakage, respiratory chain dehydrogenase activity, as well as the formation …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has great intrinsic antimicrobial resistance limiting the number of
effective antibiotics. Thus, other antimicrobial agents such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) …

The antibacterial effect of AgNPs was investigated by determining MIC/MBC and growth
kinetics assay. The lowest MIC/MBC was found to be in the range of 11.25–22.5 µg ml− 1 …

Silver nanoparticles possess antibacterial effect for various bacteria; however mechanisms
of the interaction between Ag-NPs and bacterial cells remain unclear. The aim of our study …

METHODS: To synthesize nano-sized Ag colloid, silver nitrate as a source of silver was
dissolved in ammonia water. Formaldehyde as a reducing agent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been known to have inhibitory and bactericidal effects.
Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic bacteria has emerged in recent years and …
