Biosynthesis of Iron(Fe) nanoparticles and its inhibitory effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm
Pramila M, Meenakshisundaram M
Abstract :
Biofilms are the complex bacterial communities which resist the mode of action of antibiotics and the immune system of the human also. Microorganisms unanimously attach to the surfaces and produce extracellular polysaccharides, resulting in the development of a biofilm. Biofilms create a severe trouble for public health because of the increased rate of resistance of biofilm associated organisms. The chronic infection related to biofilm by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are always hard to be cured because of their inherent resistance to both antimicrobial agents and host defense. The present study is devoted to the possibility of metal nanoparticles synthesis using plant extracts and its inhibitory effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here Iron nanoparticles were synthesized using Annona squamosa which was characterized by using UV–Visible Spectroscopy analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). To evaluate the formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm and the activity of Iron nanoparticles against the biofilm and they showed good anti–biofilm activity.
