Effect of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles on the Quorum-Sensing System of PAO1 and PA14.

The increase in multidrug-resistant microorganisms represents a global threat requiring the development novel strategies to fight bacterial infection. This study aimed to assess the effect of silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) on bacterial growth, biofilm formation, production of virulence factors, and expression of genes related to the quorum-sensing (QS) system of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and PA14.

Subinhibitory Concentrations of Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles Affect Motility and Biofilm Formation in .

Biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) are increasingly recognized as an antibiofilm and antivirulence strategy against , a bacterium that causes chronic infections in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of subinhibitory concentrations of bio-AgNPs on motility and biofilm formation in . Bio-AgNPs were synthesized reduction of ionic silver catalyzed by cell-free culture filtrate from .
