The study synthesized and evaluated the bioactive properties of silver nanoparticles synthesized by the endophytic bacterium Bacillus cereus, showing significant antibacterial and antioxidant activities.
The emergence of multidrug resistance in pathogenic bacteria limits the utilization of available antibiotics. The development of alternate options to treat infectious diseases is the need of the day.The present study was aimed to synthesize, characterize and evaluate the bioactive properties of silver nanoparticles. Endophytic bacterium Bacillus cereus (MT193718) isolated from Berberis lycium was used to synthesize biocompatible silver nanoparticles. Antibacterial properties of AgNPs were evaluated against clinically isolated multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae. AgNPs indicated significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus and K. pneumoniae fwith a zone of inhibition of 17 and 18 mm at a concentration of 1000 mg/ mL with minimum inhibitory concentration of 15.6 and 62.5 mg/mL respectively. Significant antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 9.5 mg/mL was recorded. Biosynthesized AgNPs were found compatible with red blood cells at a concentration of 31.5 mg/ml with no clumping of erythrocytes. The study suggested that AgNPs synthesized by the endophytic bacterium Bacillus cereus are biologically active and can be used as antioxidant and antibacterial agents against drug-resistant bacteria.
