Discrimination of mongoose hair from domestic cattle hair, human hair, and synthetic fiber using FTIR spectroscopy and chemometric analysis: a rapid, cost-effective, and field-deployable tool for wildlife forensics.

Mongoose hair is used to prepare fine brushes, which increases the demand for mongooses to be poached from the wild and brutally bludgeoned to death. Mongooses were listed as Schedule I species under the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. Species identification of wildlife case-related samples is necessary to convict a person under this legislation.

Antibiofilm potential of Seabuckthorn silver nanoparticles (SBT@AgNPs) against .

In era of antibiotic resistance, antibacterial silver nanoparticles are considered as potential alternative therapeutic agent to combat drug resistant pathogens. The aim of present study was to evaluate the antibacterial, antibiofilm and biocompatible potential of green synthesized Seabuckthorn silver nanoparticles (SBT@AgNPs). In the study, antibacterial efficiency of SBT@AgNPs was studied against , , and methicillin resistant .

Synthesis of non-toxic, biocompatible, and colloidal stable silver nanoparticle using egg-white protein as capping and reducing agents for sustainable antibacterial application.

For nearly a decade, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been the most prevalent commercial nanomaterials products widely used in different biomedical applications due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. However, their poor long-term stability in different environments, namely, pH, ionic strength, and temperature, and cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells has restricted their more extensive applications. Hence, there is urgent need to develop highly biocompatible, non-toxic, and stable silver nanoparticles for wide-ranging environments and applications.
