Antibacterial Efficacy of ZnO/Bentonite (Clay) Nanocomposites against Multidrug-Resistant .

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has spurred the exploration of therapeutic nanomaterials such as ZnO nanoparticles. However, the inherent nonspecific toxicity of ZnO has posed a significant obstacle to their clinical utilization. In this research, we propose a novel approach to improve the selectivity of the toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles by impregnating them onto a less toxic clay mineral, Bentonite, resulting in ZB nanocomposites (ZB NCs).

Fabrication of ZnO/Gypsum/Gelatine nanocomposites films and their antibacterial mechanism against .

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has long been acknowledged as being one of the most harmful bacteria for human civilization. It is the main contributor to skin and soft tissue infections.

A critical review on nanomaterial based therapeutics for diabetic wound healing.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disease that occurs mostly in the state of hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose level). In the recent times, diabetes is listed under world's utmost critical health issues. Wound treatment procedures are complicated in diabetic individuals all over the world.

To decipher the phytochemical agent and mechanism for Urginea indica mediated green synthesis of Ag nanoparticles and investigation of its antibacterial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Globally, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia is one of the commonest bloodstream infections associated with clinical complications and high mortality. Thence, devising effective and targeted biogenic silver based strategies are in great demand. However, limited insights regarding the biosynthesis methodologies impedes the possible scale up and commercial potentials.

Biogenic Ag/CaO nanocomposites kill Staphylococcus aureus with reduced toxicity towards mammalian cells.

Rapid increase in the case of bacterial infections is considered as a major public health concern and hence exploration of alternative treatment procedures including development of nanomaterials based therapeutic strategies is receiving much attention. In this aspect, here we investigated the antibacterial efficacy of a simple and potential metal/metal oxide nanocomposite system. Biogenic synthetic protocol was designed for processing of Ag/CaO nanocomposites (NCs).

Biogenic Au@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites kill Staphylococcus aureus without provoking nuclear damage and cytotoxicity in mouse fibroblasts cells under hyperglycemic condition with enhanced wound healing proficiency.

The aim of the present study is focused on the synthesis of Au@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites, where zinc oxide is overlaid on biogenic gold nanoparticles obtained from Hibiscus Sabdariffa plant extract. Optical property of nanocomposites is investigated using UV-visible spectroscopy and crystal structure has been determined using X-ray crystallography (XRD) technique. The presence of functional groups on the surface of Au@ZnO core-shell nanocomposites has been observed by Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Doped ZnO nanoparticles impregnated on Kaolinite (Clay): A reusable nanocomposite for photocatalytic disinfection of multidrug resistant Enterobacter sp. under visible light.

Water contamination by multidrug resistant (MDR) enteric bacteria can be considered as the foremost cause of gastrointestinal infections and poses a threat to global public health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to pursue unorthodox techniques with potential of community scale applications for purging of water borne pathogenic bacteria. We communicate visible-light assisted photocatalytic disinfection (PCD) of an enteric MDR bacterium; Enterobacter sp.
