Recently, green silver nanoparticles (G-AgNPs) have gained much attention in medical science due to their extraordinary effects against multidrug-resistant microorganisms. The strong antimicrobial nature of G-AgNPs corresponds to their unique physicochemical properties such as size, shape, surface charge, and active surface groups available to interact with the pathogens. The current study demonstrates a simple, environmentally friendly, and economical method to produce G-AgNPs from an environmental isolate of sp. The produced G-AgNPs were characterized by various analytical methods, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (sp-ICP-MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), elemental mapping, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The reduction of Ag to Ag° was observed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, which demonstrated the formation of stable G-AgNPs with a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) band at the maximum of 430 nm. TEM analysis demonstrated that the G-AgNPs were spherical with a 5-30 nm size range. The produced G-AgNPs were stable for more than 1 year in an aqueous solution at 4°C. Importantly, G-AgNPs showed remarkable antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative pathogens- and with MIC values of 0.1 and 4 μg/mL and MBC values of 1 and 8 μg/mL, respectively. This level of antimicrobial activity is superior to other AgNPs reported in the literature.
最近,绿色银纳米颗粒(G-AgNPs)因其对多重耐药微生物具有非凡作用而在医学领域备受关注。G-AgNPs强大的抗菌特性与其独特的物理化学性质相关,如尺寸、形状、表面电荷以及可与病原体相互作用的活性表面基团。当前研究展示了一种从环境分离株sp.制备G-AgNPs的简单、环保且经济的方法。所制备的G-AgNPs通过多种分析方法进行表征,包括紫外可见光谱法、单颗粒电感耦合等离子体质谱法(sp-ICP-MS)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散X射线光谱法(EDX)、元素映射、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、动态光散射(DLS)、傅里叶变换红外光谱法(FTIR)和热重分析(TGA)。通过紫外可见光谱法观察到Ag还原为Ag°,这表明形成了稳定的G-AgNPs,其表面等离子体共振(SPR)带最大值在430 nm处。TEM分析表明G-AgNPs呈球形,尺寸范围为5 - 30 nm。所制备的G-AgNPs在4°C的水溶液中稳定超过1年。重要的是,G-AgNPs对革兰氏阴性病原体和显示出显著的抗菌活性,其MIC值分别为0.1和4 μg/mL,MBC值分别为1和8 μg/mL。这种抗菌活性水平优于文献中报道的其他AgNPs。
