Tryptone-stabilized silver nanoparticles’ potential to mitigate planktonic and biofilm growth forms of Serratia marcescens

Abstract: Several microbial pathogens are capable of forming biofilms. These microbial communities pose a serious challenge to the healthcare sector as they are quite difficult to combat. Given the challenges associated with the antibiotic-based management of biofilms, the research focus has now been shifted towards finding alternate treatment strategies that can replace or complement the antibacterial properties of antibiotics. The field of nanotechnology offers several novel and revolutionary approaches to eradicate b… Show more

“…Minimum bactericidal concentration is the concentration at which the antimicrobial agent reduces the viability of the initial bacterial inoculum by a predetermined reduction. For this, the treated cell cultures were incubated with fresh media after 24 h of incubation with Ts-AgNPs and the viability was confirmed using the MTT assay [53,54].…”

“…Bacterial cells were treated with increasing concentration of Ts-AgNPs (0-15 µg ml −1 ) and incubated for 24 h. After incubation, the tubes were further diluted to 10 6 cells and 100 µl of the diluted culture was spread on GM3 agar plates. The plates were incubated at 37 • C for 24 h and the colonies were counted and compared with untreated control which serve as negative control [54,56].…”

“…12,[16][17][18][19][20][21] Silver nanoparticles coated with different polymers such as tryptone, polyphenols, PVP, PEI, chitosan, and heparin have been utilized to inhibit biofilm growth and eradicate mature biofilms. [22][23][24][25] Moreover, silver nanoparticleloaded nanocomposites, such as nanofibers and injectable hydrogels, have demonstrated effective control over biofilm growth and eradication of established biofilms. 25,26 Carrageenan, among all the carbohydrates, is a hydrophilic, sulfated, anionic linear polysaccharide comprised of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose disaccharide units alternatively.…”
