- Abstract
- In the healthcare sector, the production of bioactive silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with antimicrobial properties is of great importance. In this study, a novel bacterial strain, Paenibacillus sp. MAHUQ-63, was identified as a potential candidate for facile and rapid biosynthesis of AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were used to control the growth of human pathogens, Salmonella Enteritidis and Candida albicans. The bacterial culture supernatant was used to synthesize the nanoparticles (NPs). Field emission transmission electron microscope examination showed spherical-shaped NPs with 15-55 nm in size. Fourier transform-infrared analysis identified various functional groups. The synthesized AgNPs demonstrated remarkable activity against S. Enteritidis and C. albicans. The zones of inhibition for 100 mu l (0.5 mg ml-1) of AgNPs against S. Enteritidis and C. albicans were 18.0 +/- 1.0 and 19.5 +/- 1.3 mm, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentrations were 25.0 and 12.5 mu g ml(-1) against S. Enteritidis and C. albicans, respectively. Additionally, the minimum bactericidal concentrations were 25.0 mu g ml(-1) against both pathogenic microbes. The field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the treatment of AgNPs caused morphological and structural damage to both S. Enteritidis and C. albicans. Therefore, these AgNPs can be used as a new and effective antimicrobial agent.
