ZnO nanoparticles enhanced Antibacterial Activity of ciprofloxacin against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research - Part B Applied Biomaterials, 2010Co-Authors: Maryam Banoee, Kamyar M. Moghaddam, Parisa Jafari-fesharaki, Zeinab Esmail Nazari, Sadegh Seif, Ali Moballegh, Hamid Reza Shahverdi, Ahmad Reza ShahverdiAbstract:Nanoparticle metal oxides offer a wide variety of potential applications in medicine due to the unprecedented advances in nanobiotechnology research. In this work, the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles prepared by mechano-chemical method on the Antibacterial Activity of different antibiotics was evaluated using disk diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The average size of ZnO nanoparticles was between 20 nm and 45 nm. Although ZnO nanoparticles (500 microg/disk) decreased the Antibacterial Activity of amoxicillin, penicillin G, and nitrofurantoin in S. aureus, the Antibacterial Activity of ciprofloxacin increased in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles in both test strains. A total of 27% and 22% increase in inhibition zone areas was observed for ciprofloxacin in the presence of ZnO nanoparticles in S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. The enhancing effect of this nanomaterial on the Antibacterial Activity of ciprofloxacin was further investigated at three different contents (500, 1000, and 2000 microg/disk) against various clinical isolates of S. aureus and E. coli The enhancing effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the Antibacterial Activity of ciprofloxacin was concentration-dependent against all test strains. The most enhancing activities were observed in the contents of the 2000 microg/disk.

Antibacterial Activity of punica granatum
Fitoterapia, 2001Co-Authors: Daniel Prashanth, M K Asha, A AmitAbstract:Successive petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water extracts of Punica granatum were tested (in vitro) for their Antibacterial Activity. The methanolic extract was found to be most effective against all tested microorganisms.

Antibacterial Activity of chitosan solution against xanthomonas pathogenic bacteria isolated from euphorbia pulcherrima
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2008Co-Authors: Bin Li, Xiao Wang, Ruoxia Chen, Weiguo HuangfuAbstract:Abstract The Antibacterial Activity of chitosan solution against Xanthomonas pathogenic bacteria isolated from Euphorbia pulcherrima was investigated in this study. Results showed that chitosan solution at 0.10 mg/mL markedly inhibited the growth of Xanthomonas pathogenic bacteria from different geographical origins. The Antibacterial Activity of chitosan solution against the selected strain R22580 of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. poinsettiicola increased with the increase of chitosan concentration up to 0.10 mg/mL. The Antibacterial Activity of chitosan solution was also enhanced by the addition of NaCl, but was unaffected by the type of nutrient and sterilization. In addition, chitosan solution exhibited strong Antibacterial Activity against strain R22580 over the pH range of 5.5–7.0. Overall, the results indicated that chitosan was a potential bactericide against bacterial pathogens of E. pulcherrima under different environmental conditions.
