Study of synergistic effect of copper and silver nanoparticles with 10% benzalkonium chloride on Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Nondegradable Antimicrobial Silver-Based Perovskite

“…aeruginosa are similar to the corresponding 16 and 4–8 μg/mL for Ag 2 O nanoparticles. These ranges are at the lower end of the values reported in the literature for the case of silver nanoparticles. − Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of AgNbO 3 against clinical isolates obtained from the Detroit Medical Center was similar to its activity against ATCC strains of S. aureus and P.…”

“…Moreover, since often there is no tight control on the size and form distribution in a typical nanoparticle sample, it is difficult to find a correlation between the antimicrobial action and a particular physical property . Indeed, an extensive data analysis did not reveal a clear-cut dependence of MIC values on the particle sizes. − However, there have been suggestions that an increased level of contact between microbial cells and nanoparticles through the higher surface area (densities of edges and corner sites) is correlated with higher levels of antimicrobial activity. , There is some direct evidence for supporting this hypothesis, that is, antimicrobial effect through contact. Recently, Del Pilar Rodriguez-Torres and Díaz–Torres synthesized heparin-based silver nanoparticles that exhibited no antimicrobial activity.…”

Impact of Saussurea lappa root extract against copper oxide nanoparticles induced oxidative stress and toxicity in rat cardiac tissues

“…Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have developed as a significant class of nanomaterials with potential dangers to organisms and the environment in a variety of applications (medical, environmental, and industrial). Due to their unique features and critical uses in magnetic, electrical, thermal, and sensor systems, as well as, cosmetics, CuO NPs were among the first manufactured NPs 7,8 . As a result, humans are exposed to CuO NPs and their potentially harmful effects.…”
