The synergistic effect of chitosan-alginate nanoparticle loaded with doxycycline antibiotic against multidrug resist enterobacteriaceae

Abstract: This study focused on the synthesis of chitosan-alginate (CH-ALg) nanoparticles by ionotropic gelation technique using sodium alginate and calcium chloride. The particle size of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by atomic force microscope (AFM) and it was 61.9 nm. While the nature of functional groups present in chitosan nanoparticles was determined by FT-IR analysis. The antibacterial activity of chitosan-alginate was tested against multidrug resistance (MDR) gram- positive (Enterococcus faecalis) a… Show more

“…A possible explanation for this antibacterial activity is the interaction of polycationic CH with negatively charged cell membrane of bacteria, which can lead to intracellular leakage and death of bacteria due to changes in permeability and structure of cell membrane [40]. These results are somewhat consistent with those reported by Kazem and Zidan [41] who found a promising inhibition capacity of a biodegradable and biocompatible nano-formula as an antimicrobial agent.…”

“…The results of mixed oppositely charged polysaccharides (chitosan and alginate), observed changes in some bands placement and disappearance or appearance of new peaks in comparison to single alginate or chitosan, and this is associated with possible electrostatic interaction between mixed polymers as mentioned in previous research [41]. A broad band around 3500-3100 cm-1, indicating enhanced hydrogen bonding compared to that of chitosan or sodium alginate alone [42].…”

“…AFM was applied to measure the superficial roughness, topography, as well as morphology (AFM). This approach gives atomic level 2D and 3D images of nanoparticles [50]. The 2D and 3D AFM pictures of ZOL-GO were presented in Figure 3, while Figure 4 revealed particle size distribution of ZOL-GO.…”
