Biosynthesis, Characterization and Study of Antimicrobial Activity of Copper and Silver Nanoparticles
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Nanotechnology is gaining a lot of importance in various fields especially in medical field as many organisms are becoming resistant. Emerging infectious diseases and the increase in incidence of drug resistance among pathogenic bacteria have made the search for new antimicrobials inevitable. In the current situation, one of the most promising and novel therapeutic agents are the nanoparticles. Hence these nanoparticles can be used as antimicrobial agents to overcome this problem. In this study, copper and silver nanoparticles were made using a plant source and a microbial source. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and FTIR. Also antimicrobial activity of these synthesized nanoparticles was checked for clinical isolates (fresh wound isolates and antibiotic resistant organisms) and MIC was carried out.
