Antibacterial activity of composite of graphene oxide with silver nanoparticles
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)
Looking for strategies against the development of antibiotic resistance is a major global
object of interest for the public health. This work deals with synthesis of antimicrobial composites
of graphene oxide (GO) with ...
Interaction of platinum-based cytostatics and platinum nanoparticles with metallothionein - potencial source of the antitumor drug resistence
(TANGER, 2018-03-31)
Platinum-based cytostatic represent a unique class of DNA-damaging antitumor agents and they are one the
most frequently used drugs in oncology. Problem is that some kind of cancer is resistant against this type of
cytostatics. ...
Mutual influence of selenium nanoparticles and FGF2-STAB® on biocompatible properties of collagen/chitosan 3D scaffolds: in vitro and ex ovo evaluation
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021-12-01)
In a biological system, nanoparticles (NPs) may interact with biomolecules. Specifically, the adsorption of proteins on the nanoparticle surface may influence both the nanoparticles' and proteins' overall bio-reactivity. ...
An Investigation on the Electrochemical Behavior and Antibacterial and Cytotoxic Activity of Nickel Trithiocyanurate Complexes
(MDPI, 2020-04-10)
The electrochemical redox behavior of three trinuclear Ni(II) complexes [Ni3(abb)3(H2O)3(µ-ttc)](ClO4)3 (1), [Ni3(tebb)3(H2O)3(µ-ttc)](ClO4)3·H2O (2), and [Ni3(pmdien)3(µ-ttc)](ClO4)3 (3), where abb = 1-(1H-benzimidazol- ...
Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA Growth and Biofilm Formation after Treatment with Antibiotics and SeNPs
(MDPI, 2015-10-16)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a dangerous pathogen resistant to -lactam antibiotics. Due to its resistance, it is difficult to manage the infections caused by this strain. We examined this issue in ...
Zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles as alternatives to zinc oxide in diet of weaned piglets
(BioMed Central, 2020-06-09)
Background The high doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) administered orally to piglets for the prevention of diarrhea and increase of growth rate can contaminate pig farms and the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is a need ...
Nanocomposite furcellaran films - The influence of nanofillers on functional properties of furcellaran films and effect on linseed oil preservation
(MDPI, 2019-12-09)
Nanocomposite films that were based on furcellaran (FUR) and nanofillers (carbon quantum dots (CQDs), maghemite nanoparticles (MAN), and graphene oxide (GO)) were obtained by the casting method. The microstructure, as well ...
A novel ruthenium based coordination compound against pathogenic bacteria
(MDPI, 2020-04-10)
The current epidemic of antibiotic-resistant infections urges to develop alternatives to less-effective antibiotics. To assess anti-bacterial potential, a novel coordinate compound (RU-S4) was synthesized using ruthenium-Schiff ...
Lead Ions Encapsulated in Liposomes and Their Effect on Staphylococcus aureus
(MDPI, 2013-12-01)
The aim of the study was the preparation of a liposome complex with encapsulated lead ions, which were electrochemically detected. In particular, experiments were focused on the potential of using an electrochemical method ...
