Selective Killing of Pathogenic Bacteria by Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticle—Cell Wall Binding Domain Conjugates

Abstract: Broad-spectrum antibiotics indiscriminately kill bacteria, removing nonpathogenic microorganisms and leading to evolution of antibiotic resistant strains. Specific antimicrobials that could selectively kill pathogenic bacteria without targeting other bacteria in the natural microbial community or microbiome may be able to address this concern. In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles, suitably conjugated to a selective cell wall binding domain (CBD), can efficiently target and selectively kill ba… Show more

“…The formation of AgNPs was then confirmed by UV–Vis spectroscopy (Figure 1(a)) and TEM analysis (inset of Figure 1(b)). UV–Vis spectroscopy is a widely used technique to assess the formation and obtain in first instance a structural characterization of silver nanoparticles in colloidal solution 31 . The absorption spectrum of AgNPs shown in Figure 1(a) is dominated by the typical surface plasmon of the silver nanoparticles which gives a characteristic band in the visible region.…”

“…[8][9][10] Given their binding specicity, endolysins and in particular the CBDs constitute highly attractive scaffolds for antibacterial protein engineering. 11,12 Listeria phage A500 encodes the endolysin Ply500, which comprises L-alanoyl-D-glutamate endopeptidase activity against Listeria spp. serovars 4, 5, and 6.…”
