Antibacterial potential of silver nanoparticles against isolated urinary tract infectious bacterial pathogens

Abstract: The silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method and the nanoparticles were characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were investigated to evaluate the antibacterial activity against urinary tract infectious (UTIs) bacterial pathogens. Thirty-two bacteria were isolated from mid urine samples of 25 male and 25 female patients from Thondi, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India and i… Show more

“…The most frequently isolated bacteria significantly (p<0.05) were Escherichia coli 96 (45.2%) followed by, Klebsiella pneumoniae 48 (22.6%), Staphylococcus aureus 43(20.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 14 (6.6%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis 11 (5.2%). This result was in agreement with Inbaneson et al (2011).…”

“…All previous reports agree with our results as AgNPs showed good antibacterial activity against MDR isolates. In another finding, E. coli isolates showed no response to AgNPs indicated by absence of inhibition zone which is in a disagreement with results obtained in our study (Inbaneson et al, 2011). Our study shows that 11 isolates were positive for OmpC and OmpF genes as it confirms the presence of porin channels among 11 AgNPs-sensitive tested E. coli isolates.…”

“…Silver nanoparticles are well known as an antimicrobial agent against wide range of microorganisms (Ansari et al 2014;Inbaneson et al 2011;Augustine and Rajarathinam 2012). Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant resources is an eco-friendly, reliable approach and is suitable for large-scale production of nanoparticles (Vanaja and Annadurai 2013;Selvam and Sivakumar 2014).…”
