“…The interaction of silver ions with sulfur and phosphorus, two essential DNA building blocks, results in issues with DNA replication, cell growth, and, ultimately, microbial cell death ( Makvandi et al, 2020 ). Silver ions can also stop the synthesis of proteins by denaturing ribosomes in the cytoplasm ( Sharma et al, 2021 ). Due to their increased surface area, smaller AgNPs, like those reported in the current study and having a spherical form, are more likely to release silver.…”

In recent investigations, secondary bacterial infections were found to be strongly related to mortality in COVID-19 patients. In addition, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria played an important role in the series of bacterial infections that accompany infection in COVID-19. The objective of the present study was to investigate the ability of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from strawberries (Fragaria ananassa L.) leaf extract without a chemical catalyst to inhibit Gram-negative P. aeruginosa and Gram-positive Staph aureus isolated from COVID-19 patient’s sputum. A wide range of measurements was performed on the synthesized AgNPs, including UV–vis, SEM, TEM, EDX, DLS, ζ -potential, XRD, and FTIR. UV-Visible spectral showed the absorbance at the wavelength 398 nm with an increase in the color intensity of the mixture after 8 h passed at the time of preparation confirming the high stability of the FA-AgNPs in the dark at room temperature. SEM and TEM measurements confirmed AgNPs with size ranges of ∼40-∼50 nm, whereas the DLS study confirmed their average hydrodynamic size as ∼53 nm. Furthermore, Ag NPs. EDX analysis showed the presence of the following elements: oxygen (40.46%), and silver (59.54%). Biosynthesized FA-AgNPs (ζ = −17.5 ± 3.1 mV) showed concentration-dependent antimicrobial activity for 48 h in both pathogenic strains. MTT tests showed concentration-dependent and line-specific effects of FA-AgNPs on cancer MCF-7 and normal liver WRL-68 cell cultures. According to the results, synthetic FA-AgNPs obtained through an environmentally friendly biological process are inexpensive and may inhibit the growth of bacteria isolated from COVID-19 patients.

“…They are simple to perform, but also controllable, leading to the obtaining of spherical nanoparticles [28]. The disadvantage of these chemical methods would be the pollution generated from the use of toxic reagents or solvents [29]. Most often, nanoparticles are obtained by the sol-gel method.…”

In most studies about geopolymeric materials used in construction, the antibacterial properties of the building materials are treated as secondary features. Today, antimicrobial properties are a key feature in many building applications. The main objective of this article is to summarize the state-of-the-art in the area of design, development, and applications of nanoparticles as additives to geopolymer composites used in construction to improve their physical mechanical properties and induce a potential antibacterial effect, protecting them against alkali-resistant bacteria. On the basis of the literature and authors’ experience, the most important methods of obtaining especially the porous geopolymers, of nanomaterials used as additives, with potential antibacterial effect but also the potential mechanism of action against bacterial development were presented. The main findings show that using graphene oxide (GO) in geopolymer composites, but also other nanoparticles such as silver (Ag), zinc oxide (ZnO), silica (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), copper (Cu) as additives, is an effective way to induce a potential antibacterial effect and to improve the physical and mechanical properties in building materials.

“…Recently, nanofibers were used to integrate inorganic nanoparticles and nanocomposites into scaffolds for wound healing applications [1][2][3]. On the other hand, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as inorganic nanoparticles have a numerous range of applications in the biomedical sector due to their several benefits including a straightforward preparation method, a facile approach to control its morphology, and a high specific surface area to volume ratio [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Over the last decades, many published documents have been focused on the antimicrobial efficacy of AgNPs against microbial species [11][12][13].…”

Fabrication of electrospun nanofibers based on the blending of modified natural polymer, hydroxyl propyl starch (HPS) as one of the most renewable resources, with synthetic polymers, such as polyurethane (PU) is of great potential for biomedical applications. The as-prepared nanofibers were used as antimicrobial sheets via blending with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which were prepared in a safe way with low cost using the extract of Nerium oleander leaves, which acted as a reducing and stabilizing agent as well. The biosynthesized AgNPs were fully characterized by various techniques (UV-vis, TEM, DLS, zeta potential and XRD). The obtained results from UV-vis depicted that the AgNPs appeared at a wavelength equal to 404 nm affirming the preparation of AgNPs when compared with the wavelength of extract (there are no observable peaks). The average particle size of the fabricated AgNPs that mediated with HPS exhibited a very small size (less than 5 nm) with excellent stability (more than −30 mv). In addition, the fabricated nanofibers were also fully characterized and the obtained data proved that the diameter of nanofibers was enlarged with increasing the concentration of AgNPs. Additionally, the findings illustrated that the pore sizes of electrospun sheets were in the range of 75 to 350 nm. The obtained results proved that the presence of HPS displayed a vital role in decreasing the contact angle of PU nanofibers and thus, increased the hydrophilicity of the net nanofibers. It is worthy to mention that the prepared nanofibers incorporated with AgNPs exhibited incredible antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microbes that actually presented in human wounds. Moreover, P. aeruginosa was the most sensitive species to the fabricated nanofibers compared to other tested ones. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) values of AgNPs-3@NFs against P. aeruginosa, and E. faecalis, were 250 and 500 mg/L within 15 min, respectively.
