Abstract:Nanocomposites exhibit high performance on antimicrobial activities and have the potential to be developed alternative antibiotics. In this study, antibacterial effects of chitosan silver nano composites (CAgNCs) were investigated using pathogenic Vibrio tapetis as a bacterial model. Agar disc diffusion and turbidimetric assay results showed that CAgNCs could inhibit the growth of V. tapetis in concentration depended manner. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
