Effect of silver coated carbon nanotubes on metabolically essential gene expression and outer membrane protein profile of Escherichia coli

Chaudhari A.A., Singh S.R., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

Antibiotic resistance acquired by food borne pathogens such as E. coli has become a global concern. Recently, nanoparticles have been shown to be effective alternatives to antibiotics. Specifically, silver coated carbon nanotubes (AgCNTs) have been [...]

Silver coated carbon nanotubes regulate virulence gene expression in Salmonella Typhimurium

Chaudhari A.A., Singh S.R., Pillai S., Alabama State University, US

Silver coated carbon nanotubes (AgCNTs) have several biomedical applications and their antibacterial activity against several multi drug resistant pathogens is well documented. However, the exact molecular mechanism for their antibacterial activity is yet to be [...]

Iron-sequestering molecules play a pivotal role in the mechanism of toxicity of SWNTs on fungal and bacterial cells

Chaves J.S., Chaves S.J., Zuniga P., Chaves J.S., Chaves S.J., Instituto Tecnologico de Costa Rica, CR

In this study we described that iron-sequestering molecules are responsible for the toxicity of iron containing SWNTs to microorganisms. After incubating different concentrations of functionalized SWNTs with bacteria and fungal cells, it was found that [...]
