Silver Nanoparticles Effect On Bacteria

224 Words1 Page

In this experiment, we are testing “Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Silver Nanoparticles on E. Coli.” We will examine three things throughout this experiment; Will Silver Nanoparticles will cause the E. Coli to grow? How much silver nanoparticles are needed to cause growth?, and How much Silver Nanoparticles to destroy the E. Coli? We hypothesis that about 10ug/ml of the silver nanoparticles will cause the E. Coli to grow and about 45ug/ml Silver Nanoparticles to destroy the bacteria. Many consumer products advertise that they contain nanoparticles that can kill germs such as bacteria. Many people have even thought that silver has special properties to fight disease and help the healing process. Scientists currently think that silver

    Researchers have also been trying to figure out how these microorganisms survive in the human body. To fight harmful bacteria, the immune system creates T cells. The body also creates regulatory T cells, which prevent the T cells from attack the body’s own cells. A bacteria called Bacteroides Fragilis helps to boost the production of regulatory T cells. In the 1990s, scientists found that one of the sugar molecules on the surface of B. Fragilis, called polysaccharide A, signals the immune system to create regulatory T cells.

    How did the dominant countries of the world come to be dominant? Or, how did people living in the same time period, with crude and primitive technology come to overthrow other neighboring countries? Especially since these countries were inhabited by people with relatively the same intelligence levels as themselves. However, some historians would conclude that intelligence was, in fact, the main deciding factor for the overthrow of some countries. However, in this book, Jared Diamond tells how guns, germs, and steel are, in effect, the reasons for some cultures being superior over others.

    Disinfection implies by definition, that you make any item, including surfaces, free of germs or microscopic organisms. In fact this is unthinkable. There are such a large number of germs out there that when something touches the air it is tainted. Something just stays sterile on the off chance that you never expel it from a cleaned bundling; and, after its all said and done it useful for around three months. In the event that you autoclave disinfect something and allow it to sit unbothered, after a time of time it gets to be un-sterile once more.

    The results of this antibacterial activity of ch-ag np suggested that the presence of a small percentage of Ag nanoparticles in the composite was enough to enhance antibacterial activity significantly. Chitosan conjugated silver nanoparticles exhibit strong bacteriocidal activity at different concentration as compared to gentamycin. According to the result we can use chitosan conjugated silver nanoparticles to treat a various bacterial infection caused by pathogenic bacteria. Ch-AgNps can also help to reduce the problem of toxicity and to avoid the problem of multi drug resistance The broad spectrum of bioactivity of AgNPs makes them promising agents not only to fight. Both chitosan and silver nanoparticles are antibacterial agents

  • Causes Of Infectious Diseases

    In addition, a new class of infectious agents, the prions, has recently been recognized. Man is in constant contact with a large number of different bacteria which temporarily or permanently inhabit his body creating temporary or permanent community. Relations which are thus established are various and very complex, from those positive to those whose consequences for man are extremely negative. Oftenly, both on and in man’s body, bacteria which have the ability to cause an infection are present. This ability of pathogenic bacteria to establish disease is reflected in possession of certain pathogenicity factors: toxins, surface structures and enzymes.
