Synthesis, characterization of penicillin G capped silver nanoconjugates to combat β-lactamase resistance in infectious microorganism.

In the present study, a novel strategy was adopted to synthesize, β lactamase resistant penicillin G molecules by using the unique properties of silver nanoparticles. Ascorbic acid-stabilized spherical monodispersed silver nanoparticles were prepared by a simple chemical reaction. The formation processes of the silver nanoparticles were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
