Culture of SARS-CoV-2 in a panel of laboratory cell lines, permissivity, and differences in growth profile

Nathalie Wurtz et al.

Summary: The study tested 4 locally isolated strains of SARS-CoV-2 on 34 cell lines commonly used for isolating human pathogenic microorganisms, finding that 7 cell lines were able to support virus replication. Results indicate that there are differences in cytopathogenic effects and multiplication abilities in cells with different strains.

Bacillus-Mediated Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis and Its Antagonistic Activity against Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens

Nivedhitha Kabeerdass et al.

Summary: The supernatant of soil-borne pathogen Bacillus mn14 was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which showed antibacterial and antifungal activities. The AgNPs demonstrated potential in inhibiting S. viridans and R. solani. Various characterization techniques confirmed the properties of the AgNPs, suggesting a promising approach for disease treatment and agricultural applications.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Aloe vera leaf extract and its antimicrobial activity

T. R. Anju et al.

Summary: The extensive use of nanoparticles has led to an increased interest in sustainable synthesis strategies, particularly with green synthesis from plant sources. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully green synthesized using inner gel extract of Aloe vera leaf, with characterization confirming the formation of AgNPs and enhanced antimicrobial activity. This synergistic effect of AgNPs and phytocomponents involved in capping suggests the potential for biomedical applications.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using plant extracts and their antimicrobial activities: a review of recent literature

Chhangte Vanlalveni et al.

Summary: The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plant extracts is a simple, convenient, economical, and environmentally friendly method that reduces the use of toxic chemicals. This review summarizes the new findings in the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using different plant extracts and discusses the potential influence of phytochemicals, extraction conditions, and reaction parameters on the properties and antimicrobial activities of the produced AgNPs. Additionally, the mechanism of interaction between AgNPs and microbial cell walls leading to cell death, as well as the enhanced antimicrobial activities achieved through synergistic interaction with commercial antibiotics, are comprehensively detailed.
