The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, XRD, and FT-IR, and the effects of cerium on crystal structure, crystallinity, and particle shape were discussed. With the tests of bacterial inhibition zone and antibacterial ratio, the antibacterial property of HAP and CeHAP nanoparticles on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus were researched. Results showed that the nanoparticles of HAP and CeHAP could be made by sol-gel-SCFD, cerium could partially substitute for calcium and enter the structure of HAP. After substitution, the crystallinity, the IR wavenumbers of bonds in CeHAP decreased gradually with increase of cerium substitution, and the morphology of the nanoparticles changed from the short rod-shaped HAP to the needle-shaped CeHAP. The nanoparticles of HAP and CeHAP with Xco below 0.08 had antibacterial property only forcibly contacting with the test bacteria at the test concentration of 0.1 g · mi^-1, however, the Ce- HAP nanoparticles had antibacterial ability at that concentration no matter statically or dynamically contacting with the test bacteria when Xco was above 0.08, and the antibacterial ability gets better with the increase Of Xce, indicating that the antibacterial property was improved after calcium was partially substituted by cerium. The improved antibacterial effects of CeHAP nanoparticle on Lactobacillus showed its potential ability to anticaries.展开更多

The nanoparticles were characterized by element content analysis, FT-IR, XRD and TEM, and the effects of strontium substitution on crystal structure, crystallinity, particle shape and antibacterial properties of the nanoparticles on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus were researched. Results show that strontium can half and totally substitute for calcium and enter the structure of apatite according to the initial atomic ratios of Sr/[Sr+Ca] as 0.5, 1. The substitution decreases the IR wavenumbers of SrCaHAP and SrHAP, and changes the morphology of the nanoparticles from short rod shaped HAP to needle shaped SrCaHAP, and back to short rod shaped SrHAP. The crystallinity of HAP is higher than that of SrCaHAP, but is lower than that of SrHAP. Moreover, the antibacterial property of SrCaHAP and SrHAP are improved after the calcium is half and totally substituted by strontium.展开更多

Also antibacterial activity based on minimal inhibitory concentration and the growth inhibitory zone (well method) was evaluated. ZnO nanostructures were fabricated by novel hydrolysis sol-gel-hydrothermal process followed with rapid quenching as new technique using glycerine, vegetable fatty esters such as coconut, sunflower and Lauric alcohol ethoxylated as organic templates soluble in eco-friendly nanofluids. The results showed that Bacillus anthracis and Pseudomonas aerogenes were extremely sensitive to treatment with unique ZnO nanostructured. Their growth inhibitory zone presented 30 mm and 25 mm inhibition zone with better inhibitory effect compared to the Gentamicin antibiotic standard. ZnO nanostructures had also been indicated to have a wide range of antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria especially more effective on (gr+) species using the growth inhibitory zone. We could design and make significant formulations of fatty acids and esters-capped ZnO quantum dots nanofluids which created high promising agents for controlling Anthrax, Staphylococcus epidermidis and their influences in antimicrobial properties with low cost for future.展开更多

The beehives were extracted with three different solvents: distilled water, 50% ethanol and 95% ethanol, then each filtrate was evaporated by vacuum rotary evaporator to obtain crude extracts: water extract (W), water-ethanol extract (WE) and ethanol extract (E). These extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against five bacterial strains: Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Psuedomonas aeuruginosa (ATCC 27853), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and β-hemolytic Streptococcus group A (GAS), then they were evaluated for their MIC and MBC values. The results revealed that the yield of the W, WE and E extracts amounted to 16.25%, 14.42% and 6.67%, respectively. Whereas, all of the samples were found to be effective against P. aeuruginosa, S. aureus, MRSA and GAS, but they were ineffective against E. coli. The W extract exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity with MIC values of 31.25-62.50 mg/mL and MBC values of 62.50 mg/mL. Then the gel bases using different gelling agents such as carbopol, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) were formulated and evaluated for their physical properties: appearance, texture, pH, spread ability and stability. The formula which contained HEC was selected to incorporate with the W extract due to its smooth texture, good spreadability on the skin and good stability. The W gel exhibited a promising antimicrobial activity in both before and after stability test and also expressed no skin irritation.展开更多
