Testing the efficacy of topical antimicrobial treatments using a two- and five-species chronic wound biofilm model

Andreea-Gabriela Nedelea et al.

Summary: The study aimed to test the effectiveness of commercially available wound dressings and a HOCl gel formulation against two- and five-species biofilms in an in vitro chronic wound infection model. Results showed that HOCl gel was most effective against 24-hour established biofilms, particularly in inhibiting P. aeruginosa, and multiple doses indicated no tolerance to treatment from bacteria.

Antibacterial and antibiofilm potential of silver nanoparticles against antibiotic-sensitive and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains

Davi de Lacerda Coriolano et al.

Summary: This study reviews the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, showing promising potential for future therapeutic applications and efficacy against drug-resistant strains. AgNPs with smaller particle sizes have greater contact surface area with microorganisms, affecting their vital functioning. AgNPs adhere to the cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall of microorganisms, causing disruption, penetrating the cell, interacting with cellular structures, and inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species and free radicals.

Tannic Acid-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles Used in Biomedical Application as an Effective Antimelioidosis and Prolonged Efflux Pump Inhibitor against Melioidosis Causative Pathogen

Oranee Srichaiyapol et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that silver nanoparticles have strong antibacterial activity against Burkholderia pseudomallei, including ceftazidime-resistant strains, with a fast-killing mode. Additionally, the nanoparticles are effective in killing both planktonic bacteria in solution and bacteria in established biofilm. Furthermore, there was no resistance development observed in the bacteria after prolonged exposure to sublethal concentrations of silver nanoparticles, indicating their potential as a potent antimicrobial agent to combat antibiotic resistance.

The Insights of Microbes' Roles in Wound Healing: A Comprehensive Review

Thambirajoo Maheswary et al.

Summary: The diversity of normal flora on human skin varies between individuals and parts of the skin. A symbiotic relationship has been formed over time between humans and normal flora. In chronic wounds, particularly in patients with diabetes, the conditions become favorable for microbes to colonize and establish infections within the skin. Antibiotics and wound dressings are the targeted therapy to treat chronic wounds, although prolonged usage may lead to ineffectiveness or resistance. Further studies are needed to comprehensively understand the role of human skin normal flora in chronic injuries at the cellular and molecular level.

Summary: The study aimed to isolate and identify Acinetobacter baumannii, evaluate the impact of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the bacteria, and determine their resistance and virulence profile. AgNPs effectively inhibited the growth of A. baumannii, especially against strains with weak biofilm production. Furthermore, AgNPs not only suppressed bacterial growth and biofilm formation, but also decreased the expression of key virulence and biofilm-related genes.

Green Phytosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Echinochloa stagnina Extract with Reference to Their Antibacterial, Cytotoxic, and Larvicidal Activities

Amr M. Shehabeldine et al.

Summary: A novel green phytosynthesis method using Echinochloa stagnina extract to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was reported, showing antibacterial activity and potential cytotoxic effects on various cells and insects. AgNPs were spherical in shape with a diameter of 30 nm, and exhibited inhibitory activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria. The study suggests that plant-mediated synthesis of AgNPs could be a feasible and effective method to produce AgNPs with improved properties.
