“…Crystallinity, phase analysis, and purity were determined using electron X-ray diffractometry (XRD) at 40 kV and 30 mA using Cu-Ka radiation. Pellets were prepared using two milligrams of MK-AgNPs and 200 mg of KBr (IR grade) and were assessed by FTIR (Thermo-Nicolet-380 Model, Maddison, WI, USA) [ 34 ]. Particle shape and size were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).…”

Shigellosis is a serious foodborne diarrheal disease caused by the Shigella species. It is a critical global health issue. In developing countries, shigellosis causes most of the mortality in children below 5 years of age. Globally, around 165 million cases of diarrhea caused by Shigella are reported, which accounts for almost 1 million deaths, in which the majority are recorded in Third World nations. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Mangifera indica kernel (MK-AgNPs) seed extracts. The biosynthesized M. indica silver nanoparticles (MK-AgNPs) were characterized using an array of spectroscopic and microscopic tools, such as UV–Vis, scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometer. The nanoparticles were spherical in shape and the average size was found to be 42.7 nm. The MK-AgNPs exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant clinical Shigella sp. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of the MK-AgNPs was found to be 20 μg/mL against the multi-drug-resistant strain Shigella flexneri. The results clearly demonstrate that MK-AgNPs prepared using M. indica kernel seed extract exhibited significant bactericidal action against pathogenic Shigella species. The biosynthesized nanoparticles from mango kernel could possibly prove therapeutically useful and effective in combating the threat of shigellosis after careful investigation of its toxicity and in vivo efficacy.

“…However, ZN1 nanospikes reduced biofilm formation around (23-58%) at 200 μg/mL concentration and ZN2 nanospikes reduced maximum level of (85%) at 200 μg/mL concentration. Most importantly, there is an evidence demonstrating that Plumbago zeylanica-mediated ZnO NPs showed antibiofilm properties against, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus Husain et al 42 Previous findings of Dharmaraj et al 22 confirmed that Bacillus paramycoides mediated ZnO-NPs significantly reduced the biofilm formation against a wide range of marine biofilm forming bacterial strains.…”

The development of novel drug candidates for treating microbial infections and cancer turns into a challenging task. The biopolymer‐based nanomaterials have gained popularity for their effective roles in the pharmaceutical sector. The present investigation aims to valorize crab shell wastes to extract chitosan. The obtained (chitosan) biomass was utilized to synthesize chitosan‐zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ch‐ZnO‐NPs). The nanomaterial characterization was achieved by a variety of physicochemical techniques including UV, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), elemental analysis, and High‐resolution transmission electron microscopic (HR‐TEM) examination. The synthesized nanomaterials have a particle size range of 35–80 nm and are more stable with a zeta potential value of (−40.78) mv. Additionally, the designed nanomaterials were utilized to evaluate the biological efficiency. The minimal inhibitory concentration value of Ch‐ZnO‐NPs was observed as 10 μg/mL. The designed nanomaterials significantly reduced the growth of Vibrio alginolyticus and Bacillus cereus and inhibited biofilm formation. The synthesized Ch‐ZnO‐NPs unveiled cytotoxic effects on A549 cells with an IC50 (half‐maximal inhibitory concentration) of 20 μg/mL. Furthermore, substantial increase in cell death was noticed in A549 cells treated with Ch‐ZnO‐NPs. Consequently, this investigation concludes that Ch‐ZnO‐NPs may act as a biomedicine.
