ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AGAINST METHICILLIN RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Abstract: One hundred wound swab samples were collected from wound patients who visited in the Teaching Hospital wound unit in Hillah, Babylon province, Iraq. S. aureus was identified morphologically and biochemically. Total of 30 (30%) from total samples exhibited positive culture for S. aureus. Out of 30 S. aureus, 8 (26.6%) isolates were MRSA, Antibiotic susceptibility was tested for 8 antibiotics for MRSA that appeared sensitive toward Tetracycline, Rifampin and Ciprofloxacin (62.5%) but (37.5%) were resistant.

“…As illustrated in Fig. 2a, CSBC exhibited typical broad and gradual amorphous carbon diffraction peaks at 2θ = 15-30°; [19] the X-ray diffraction peaks appearing at 28.2°, 30 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to further evaluate the valence states of the Cu 4 O 3 /CSBC composite. The presence of elemental Cu signal peaks con rmed the deposition of elemental Cu on the biochar surface, as illustrated in the XPS spectra (Fig.…”

“…They have been found on the coastal beach and river water in many regions of the world [7,8]. Antibacterial resistance is a challenge for S. aureus, as well as many other bacterial disorders, particularly antibiotic-resistant diseases, which have received significant attention recently [9]. Antibacterial active agents are being researched as a workable solution.…”

“…[6][7][8][9] Among a wide variety of nanomaterials, metal oxide nanomaterials have served as important antibacterial agents against bacteria, fungus, viruses, and parasites, owing to their small size and high surface volume ratio, which allows to closely interact with bacterial membranes, leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation and bactericidal consequently. [10][11][12][13] With superior chemical and physical properties, nanoparticles of CuO have shown antimicrobial effect against many species, [14,15] including Escherichia coli (E. coli), [16,17] Bacillus subtilis(B. subtilis), [18,19] Pseudomonas aeruginosa Aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), [20] and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), [21] and antibiotic-resistant microorganisms such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), [22,23] which makes copper-based nanoparticles promising for the development of new antimicrobial agents to control drug-resistant bacterial pathogens.…”
