Biosynthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles from Acacia nilotica (L.) Extract to Overcome Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella Pneumoniae

Elsayim Rasha et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antibacterial activity of biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (KPC) in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that ZnO-NPs had low MIC and MBC against KPC compared to Imipenem and Meropenem antibiotics, and promoted better wound closure in rats compared to Imipenem ointment. The biosynthesized ZnO-NPs demonstrated potential for use against bacteria due to their small size, applicability, and low toxicity to human cells.
