Targeted specific inhibition of bacterial and Candida species by mesoporous Ag/Sn–SnO₂ composite nanoparticles: in silico and in vitro investigation

Abstract

Mesoporous Ag/Sn–SnO2 composite nanoparticles exhibits extraordinary inhibitory properties by targeting different proteins of bacteria and Candida species which can be used to eliminate the resistance of traditional antibiotics.

Comparative Experimental Investigation of Biodegradable Antimicrobial Polymer-Based Composite Produced by 3D Printing Technology Enriched with Metallic Particles

“…The maximum reductions of 99.75% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 99.81% for Salmonella poona were achieved after just 5 min. Pandey et al [ 56 ] utilized mesoporous Ag/Sn–SnO 2 composite nanoparticles as an antimicrobial agent against E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and successfully inhibited bacterial growth. Comparable results were presented by Nong et al [ 57 ], who used a metal–organic framework-based nanozyme hybrid material as an antimicrobial agent against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus .…”

Metal Nanoparticles to Combat Candida albicans Infections: An Update

“…Based on the promising optoelectronic, electrochemical, catalytic and antibacterial properties of tin (Sn) and tin dioxide (SnO 2 ) nanomaterials [ 109 , 110 ], and the well-established antimicrobial activity of AgNPs, Pandey et al [ 111 ] evaluated the antifungal activity of bimetallic (Ag/Sn-SnO 2 ) composite nanoparticles (Ag/Sn-SnO 2 NPs). Ag/Sn-SnO 2 NPs formed with a rod or needle shape, with ranging in size from 1 to 18 nm.…”

“…These newly discovered materials have a rapid role in inhibiting bacteria development and help in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the healthcare system. 5,6 However, most metal binary oxides suffer from limited response to visible light due to their large band gap (E g > 3 eV), such as TiO stable and nontoxic and exhibit visible light photocatalytic properties. 7−9 Among the semiconductor photocatalysts, bismuth vanadate BiVO 4 has received a great deal of research interest due to its distinct physical and chemical features, including its ability to degrade substances and pathogens in water treatment, its role as an antimicrobial agent, and its nontoxicity for cells in biomedical applications.…”

“…Among metallic oxide nanoparticles, semiconductor-based photocatalysts have received significant attention due to their various shape-dependent characteristics, low cost, chemical stability, and environmentally friendly features. − In the areas of water treatment, food production, biomedical, and environmental fields, nanocomposites are highly significant.
