Bactericidal assessment of nano-silver on emerging and re-emerging human pathogens 2018-04-24 .txt text/plain 4013 181 42 To explore the action of nano-silver on emerging Bacillus megaterium MTCC 7192 and re-emerging Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741 pathogenic bacteria, the study includes an analysis of the bacterial membrane damage through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) as well as alternation of zeta potential and intracellular leakages. The comparative antibacterial activities of nano-silver and broad spectrum antibiotics was effectively accessed against emerging pathogens Bacillus megaterium MTCC 7192 and re-emerging pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741 using agar well diffusion assay method [13] . Samples from bacterial cultures (Bacillus megaterium MTCC 7192 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741), mixed with 100 μg/ml of nano-silver, were collected at 3 h and pre-fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 30 min; these were then washed two times in the same buffer and post-fixed for 2 h in 1% osmium tetroxide. The inhibition zones of nano-silver obtained in this study indicated that a nano-silver has potential to control emerging and re-emerging multidrug-resistant pathogens compared to tested antibiotics. ./cache/cord-322201-5laifjgz.txt ./txt/cord-322201-5laifjgz.txt
