Antibacterial activity of modified natural clinoptilolite against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii

Synergistic anti-biofouling effect of Ag-exchanged zeolite and D-Tyrosine on PVC composite against the clinical isolate ofAcinetobacter baumannii

“…Bactericidal activity of Ag-exchanged natural zeolite against the clinical isolate of A. baumannii, which belongs to the international clonal lineage 2, has been shown to be due to the activity of Ag ions loaded onto zeolite and not to the zeolite used as the support material (Hrenovic et al 2013). This was confirmed in this study, since the NZ composites showed no antibacterial activity while the Ag-NZ composites were antibacterial (see Figure 1).…”

“…Ag-exchanged zeolite was prepared by an ion-exchange procedure described in detail in previous work (Hrenovic et al 2013). A 6 mM aqueous solution of AgNO 3 was used for the ion exchange.…”

The antibacterial activity and mechanism of mussel shell waste derived material

“…These materials are generally based in metallic ions, such as Ag + , Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ , among which silver is well known to have a great and broad spectrum antibacterial activity and relatively high safety [5][6][7][8][9]. Recently, various antibacterial materials containing silver, such as Agmontmorillonite, Ag-zeolite, Ag-SiO 2 and Ag-polymer fibers have been prepared [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. For practical applications, the recyclable antimicrobial materials are necessary.…”

Characterization and antibacterial activity of silver exchanged regenerated NaY zeolite from surfactant-modified NaY zeolite

“…The incorporation of silver into the zeolite was performed via the liquid ion exchange method [37]. Regenerated AgY zeolites with different Ag loadings were prepared via the solution.…”
