Antimicrobial activity of spherical silver nanoparticles prepared using a biocompatible macromolecular capping agent: evidence for induction of a greatly prolonged bacterial lag phase

BACKGROUND: We have evaluated the antimicrobial properties of Ag-based nanoparticles (Nps) using two solid phase bioassays and found that 10-20 μL of 0.3-3 μM keratin-stabilized Nps (depending on the starting bacterial concentration = C(I)) completely inhibited the growth of an equivalent volume of...
