Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of copper, nickel and bimetallic Cu–Ni nanoparticles for potential use in dental materials

Antibacterial Behavior of Laser-Ablated Copper Nanoparticles

“…There are a variety of methods, such as well diffusion method [20], micro-dilution method [21], serial dilution method [22] and turbidity method [23], to investigate the antimicrobial activity of metallic nanoparticles against the microorganism. In the present study, an indirect turbidity method was used to check the antimicrobial activity of Cu NPs against two human pathogenic gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) and gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) to calculate the concentration of minimum inhibition.…”

“…The turbidity method was characterized by a series of test tubes that contain different concentrations of doses (nanoparticles), in a culture medium inoculated with test microorganism [23]. An aliquot of fresh culture of E. coli and S. aureus was transferred to a test tube containing 5 ml nutrient broth medium and incubated at 37°C for 24 h for the bacterial cultures.…”

Synthesis, characterization, in vitro bioactivity and antimicrobial activity of magnesium and nickel doped silicate hydroxyapatite

“…urease, hydrogenase), or as a cofactor to facilitate the intestinal absorption of the ferric ions. Antibacterial activity of Ni 2 þ ions is already well documented in the literature [16][17][18]. Ni 2 þ ions have good mechanical and anti-corrosion properties and as a result they have wide number of application as orthopedic implants in the form of alloys such as Ti-Ni super-elastic alloy and Ni-Crbased alloys for crown and bridge [19].…”

Biopolymers from Composted Biowaste as Stabilizers for the Synthesis of Spherical and Homogeneously Sized Silver Nanoparticles for Textile Applications on Natural Fibers

“…Noble metals (i.e. silver and gold) are conventionally well‐known antimicrobial materials . Going back in time, for example in abdominal surgery, silver was the first material utilized for sutures by ancient Greek and Romans since well tolerated by the human body .…”
