Microbial Fabrication of Nanomaterial and Its Role in Disintegration of Exopolymeric Matrices of Biofilm

Abstract: Bacterial biofilms are responsible for the development of various chronic wound-related and implant-mediated infections and confer protection to the pathogenic bacteria against antimicrobial drugs and host immune responses. Hence, biofilm-mediated chronic infections have created a tremendous burden upon healthcare systems worldwide. The development of biofilms upon the surface of medical implants has resulted in the failure of various implant-based surgeries and therapies. Although different conventional chemi… Show more

“…In recent years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have created attention among researchers because of their important applications in biomedicine, agriculture, food industry, catalytic, biosensors, optoelectronics and optics [ 10 ]. Several physical and chemical methods have been widely employed for the synthesis of AgNPs, such as sonochemical, microwave, γ-rays, hydrothermal, wet chemical, laser ablation and sol-gel, but these methods have some disadvantages, such as their use of high beam energy, hazardous toxic wastes, require high capital costs and production of large amounts of toxic byproducts that cause environmental contamination [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Hence, there is a need to develop eco-friendly techniques without using toxic chemicals to overcome these limitations.…”

“…Biosynthesis of both Ag and Au nanoparticles has been achieved by Ramkumar Vijayan et al using an aqueous solution containing an extract from Turbinaria conoides . The nanoparticles were also tested for their ability to inhibit the development of biofilms ( Nag et al, 2021 ). Antimicrobial nanoparticles derived from a Sargassum plagiophyllum aqueous extract have also been demonstrated to be effective against bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli ( Stalin Dhas et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Strategies for IAI mainly start from three aspects: 1) preventing the initial adhesion of bacteria, 2) destroying the biofilm that is just starting to form, and 3) destroying the mature biofilm. Many research studies have been devoted to improvements in antibiotic therapy, such as bone cement ( Ismat et al, 2021 ), biopolymers ( Kasza et al, 2021 ), ceramic materials ( Cyphert et al, 2021 ), hydrogels ( Garg et al, 2021 ), and nanomaterials ( Keskin et al, 2021 ; Nag et al, 2021 ). They are designed as local drug delivery vehicles or coatings.…”
