Co⁰ superparamagnetic nanoparticles stabilized by an organic layer coating with antimicrobial activity

Abstract

The Co0@C-NPs were obtained using solvothermal synthesis. The Co0@C-NPs were characterized by different techniques and its antimicrobial activity was assessed against Staphylococcus aureus by microdilution assay and scanning electron microscope.

Superparamagnetic Cobalt Nanocomposites Synthesized by Solvothermal Synthesis in a Single Step

“…Besides, the micrograph permits the observation of a thin organic coating. This coating was associated to the amino acid used as starting materials, which was also responsible for the stability of the Co 0 -NPs and avoided their oxidation reported by Santana et al 32 . Fig.…”

Synergistic Bacteriostatic Effect of Streptomycin-Coated Nanomagnetic Functional Oxides

“…There are several applications of drug-coated ferrite particles i.e. hyperthermia [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], brain imaging [17], targeted drug delivery [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], the contrast-enhancing dye in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [25][26][27][28], cell labeling and tracing [29,30], and antimicrobial agent [31][32][33]. These nanoparticles have several properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, possess high-temperature transition, and have high chemical stability [34].…”
