Abstract
A novel method for the quantification of antifungal activity of fungicides and painted surfaces, mycelial invasion distance (MID) method, was developed and applied to the quantification of activities of parabens and an antifungal paint. In this method, the MID of aerial mycelia on a test paper or a panel placed on a nutrient agar plate was measured with a stereoscopic microscope and a micro-ruler. The antifungal activities of the parabens and painted surfaces were expressed as the MID. The higher the hydrophobicity of parabens, the longer the MID, that is the lower the antifungal activity, were observed. Conversely, relatively polar parabens, such as methyl and ethyl parabens, exhibited stronger antifungal activity, that is shorter MID. The most hydrophobic paraben, benzyl paraben, showed the weakest antifungal activity. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the MID method was effective for the evaluation of the painted surfaces.

Natural approach of using nisin and its nanoform as food bio-preservatives against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and E.coli O157:H7 in yoghurt. BMC Vet Res 2024; 20:192. [PMID: 38734600 PMCID: PMC11088153 DOI: 10.1186/s12917-024-03985-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural antimicrobial agents such as nisin were used to control the growth of foodborne pathogens in dairy products. The current study aimed to examine the inhibitory effect of pure nisin and nisin nanoparticles (nisin NPs) against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and E.coli O157:H7 during the manufacturing and storage of yoghurt. Nisin NPs were prepared using new, natural, and safe nano-precipitation method by acetic acid. The prepared NPs were characterized using zeta-sizer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the cytotoxicity of nisin NPs on vero cells was assessed using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of nisin and its nanoparticles were determined using agar well-diffusion method. Further, fresh buffalo's milk was inoculated with MRSA or E.coli O157:H7 (1 × 106 CFU/ml) with the addition of either nisin or nisin NPs, and then the inoculated milk was used for yoghurt making. The organoleptic properties, pH and bacterial load of the obtained yoghurt were evaluated during storage in comparison to control group. RESULTS The obtained results showed a strong antibacterial activity of nisin NPs (0.125 mg/mL) against MRSA and E.coli O157:H7 in comparison with control and pure nisin groups. Notably, complete eradication of MRSA and E.coli O157:H7 was observed in yoghurt formulated with nisin NPs after 24 h and 5th day of storage, respectively. The shelf life of yoghurt inoculated with nisin nanoparticles was extended than those manufactured without addition of such nanoparticles. CONCLUSIONS Overall, the present study indicated that the addition of nisin NPs during processing of yoghurt could be a useful tool for food preservation against MRSA and E.coli O157:H7 in dairy industry.

Abstract
A novel nanomagnet modified with nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) coated with hybrid chitosan (Cs-NiFe2O4) was synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The resulting nanomagnets were characterized using various techniques. The size of the nanomagnetic particles was estimated to be about 40 nm based on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) pattern (using the Debye-Scherrer equation). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated that the surface of Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs is flatter and smoother than the uncoated NiFe2O4 NPs. According to value stream mapping (VSM) analysis, the magnetization value of Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs (17.34 emu/g) was significantly lower than NiFe2O4 NPs (40.67 emu/g). The Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs indicated higher antibacterial properties than NiFe2O4 NPs and Cs. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs against S. aureus and E. coli were 128 and 256 mg/mL, respectively. Antioxidant activity (evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging test) for NiFe2O4 NPs and Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs at the concentration of 100 µg/mL were 35% and 42%, respectively. Consequently, the synthesized Cs-NiFe2O4 NPs can be proposed as a viable material for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Increasing antimicrobial resistance has led to use of novel technologies such as nanomaterials and nanocomposites that have shown effective antimicrobial and/or antifungal activities against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. There have been limited studies on antimicrobial properties of the combined polymer nanocomposites with transitional bimetallic nanoparticles such as nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu). Thus, the main objective of this study was to synthesis, characterize and investigate the antibacterial and antifungal properties of NiCu-PANI/PVA nanocomposite. The nanocomposite films with different amount of Ni and Cu salts were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of polyaniline using HCl as oxidant and PVA as a stabilizer. Optical, chemical composition, and morphological characteristics as well as thermal stability were evaluated using UV-Visible, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and TGA analyses. Antimicrobial properties were then determined using the disc diffusion assay against gram-negative bacteria (i.e., Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 700603, Proteus sp.,) and gram-positive bacteria (i.e., Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 2593). Fungal plant pathogens including Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi were also evaluated for determination of antifungal activity of NiCu-PANI/PVA films. Among the synthesized films, Ni65Cu35-PANI/PVA showed excellent antibacterial activity against all the bacteria strains examined in this study. The diameters of inhibition zones for Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603, Proteus sp., and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 2593 were 23, 23, 17, and 18 mm, respectively indicating good antibacterial activities. Additionally, NiCu-PANI/PVA, particularly the films with higher Cu intake, showed better antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi. However, NiCu-PANI/PVA was ineffective against Aspergillus niger.

Abstract
Pure NiO and NiO thin films doped with 0.1 to 25% Cu were grown on pre-heated soda-lime glass substrates via spray pyrolysis technique. The surface roughness of the NiO:Cu thin films decreased as Cu/Ni ratio was increased. Antifungal activity of these thin films against Aspergillus niger (A. niger) which affects some of the fruits, and Macrophomina phaseolina (M. phaseolina) which is a soil borne fungus responsible for the infection of root and lower stem of several plants, was then investigated by bioassay and broth dilution methods. The antifungal response of pure NiO thin film was weak but it improved considerably on doping with copper. The higher the copper content in NiO:Cu thin film, the better was its antifungal response. Moreover, for the given Cu/Ni ratio range of 0-25%, the optical density (OD) of Potato Dextrose (PD) broth inoculated with A. niger and containing NiO:Cu material was reduced or antifungal ability was enhanced by 8.3, 9.9, 11.7, and 13.4 times for the exposure time of 6, 8, 10, and 12 days, respectively. Similarly, the OD of PD broth inoculated with M. phaseolina and containing NiO:Cu material was reduced or antifungal ability was enhanced by 16-37 times in the exposure temperature range of 20-40 °C. A linear relationship of OD with crystallite size and lattice strain of the thin films showed that NiO:Cu material possessed memory of the structural modifications induced by the dopant atoms though its phase changed from crystalline to non-crystalline state. These results can be utilized in agricultural sector. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is one of the most important problems that human beings face. Today, nanotechnology has played an important role in green chemistry and the use of nanoparticles in the removal of environmental pollutants is one of the newest methods of removing pollutants in the world. So, in this study, Nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) of this work were successfully synthesized via a green method by the usage of nickel nitrate hexahydrate as the source of metal and Biebersteinia multifida extract as the stabilizing agent throughout different annealing temperatures. The physicochemical properties of the obtained NiO NPs were characterized through the application of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), ultraviolet visible (UV-vis), and Raman analysis. According to the results of SEM and PXRD, the prepared product contained a satisfying distribution and very fine cubic structure with minimal accumulation. The average crystal size of prepared nanoparticles was obtained 54-58 nm. The energy band gap of synthesized NiO NPs was calculated 3-3.7 using Tauc equation. The photocatalytic performance of NiO NPs was investigated under visible light through the decolourization reaction of acid orange 7 (AO7) dye in aqueous solution. Being composed at 300 °C of annealing temperature, these nanoparticles exhibited excellent adsorption and photocatalytic activity (90.2%) toward AO7 dye. Therefore, it can be indicated that the synthesized NiO NPs demonstrated an excellent dispersion in dye solution, as well as considerable photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
This paper reports the photoconductive and antimicrobial properties of SnS2–CdO and SnS2-NiO nanocomposites green synthesized using Psidium guajava leaf extract. X-ray diffraction studies reveal that the SnS2–CdO nanocomposite exhibits hexagonal SnS2 and cubic CdO diffraction peaks; whereas the SnS2–NiO nanocomposite exhibits hexagonal SnS2 and cubic NiO diffraction peaks. SEM image of the bio-synthesized SnS2–CdO nanocomposite confirmed nanoneedles with grains being well distributed. Regular shaped grains with decreased sizes were observed for the SnS2–NiO nanocomposite. Nanosized grains were observed from the TEM images. The existence of elements Sn, S, Cd, O in SnS2–CdO nanocomposite; Sn, S, Ni, O in SnS2–NiO nanocomposite was confirmed from the EDX and XPS spectra. Increased photosensitivity value was realized for the SnS2–CdO nanocomposite. Both the composites showed good fungal inhibition property against Aspergillus terreus fungi not only by the physical, chemical and biological processes but also owing to phyto-constituents in the leaf extract.

Abstract
For many years, researchers were looking for new antibacterial substances to deal with hospital infections and especially resistant infections. Nanoparticles attracted much attentions because of their very small size that increases the surface to capacity ratio and consequently increase chemical activity. In this study, the antibacterial effects of silver, copper oxide, nickel oxide, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were studied on Proteus vulgaris, as a bacterium involved in the resistant hospital infections. The capability of nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of bacteria was assessed via 9 different methods including cylinder, disk, and well-diffusion, spot test, MBC, MIC, liquid inhibitory action test, diffusion, and assessing the effects of nanoparticles on a 24-h culture. Based on the results, copper oxide and silver nanoparticles had high antibacterial effects on P. vulgaris in both liquid and solid cultures, respectively. However, nickel oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles only had a weak effect on the inhibition of bacterial growth in the liquid culture. CuO and Ag NPs could release ions and consequently produce free radicals, disturb the equilibrium of electrons between electron donor groups and inactivate enzymes and DNA of the organisms. Moreover, they triggered holes in the bacterial membrane to disturb cellular ion equilibrium. So, they can be used to inhibit the growth of pathogens. Besides, further studies have shown that they could be used as a supplementary treatment and/or in combination with other drugs to cure infections caused by P. vulgaris.

Abstract
Introduction: Given the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance among bacterial strains, many researchers have been working to produce new and efficient and inexpensive antibacterial agents. It has been reported that some nanoparticles may be used as novel antimicrobial agents.Here, we evaluated antibacterial properties of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles. Methods: NiO nanoparticles were synthesized using microwave method. In order to control the quality and morphology of nanoparticles, XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electronmicroscope) were utilized. The antibacterial properties of the nanoparticles were assessed against eight common bacterial strains using agar well diffusion assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were measured. Antibiotic resistance pattern of the bacteria to nine antibiotics was obtained by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results: The crystalline size and diameter (Dc) of NiO nanoparticles were obtained 40-60 nm. The nanoparticles were found to inhibit the growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria with higher activity against gram-positive organisms. Among bacterial strains, maximum sensitivity was observed in Staphylococcus epidermidis with MIC and MBC of 0.39 and 0.78 mg/mL, respectively. The bacteria had high resistance to cefazolin, erythromycin, rifampicin,ampicillin, penicillin and streptomycin.Conclusion: NiO nanoparticles exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties against gram positive and gram-negative bacteria and can be a new treatment for human pathogenic and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
The synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) and graphene/nickel oxide nanocomposites (Gr/NiO NCs) was performed using a simple chemical reduction method. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to examine the crystalline nature and thermal stability of the synthesized NiO NPs and Gr/NiO NCs, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to observe the morphology of NiO NPs and Gr/NiO NCs and estimate their size range. TEM suggested that the NiO NPs were speared onto the surface of Gr nanosheet. The efficiency of NiO NPs and Gr/NiO NCs against extended spectrum β-lacamase (ESBL) producing bacteria, which was confirmed by specific HEXA disc Hexa G-minus 24 (HX-096) and MIC strip methods (CLSI); namely Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) was investigated using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) methods. MIC results suggested that the NiO NPs and Gr/NiO NCs possess maximum growth inhibition of 86%, 82% and 94%, 92% at 50 and 30 μg/mL concentrations, respectively. Similarly, both nanomaterials were found to inhibit the β-lacamase enzyme at concentrations of 60 μg/mL and 40 μg/mL, respectively. The cytotoxicity of NiO NPs and Gr/NiO NCs was quantified against A549 human lung cancer cells. Cell death percentage values of 52% at 50 μg/mL against NiO NPs and 54% at 20 μg/mL against Gr/NiO NCs were obtained, respectively. The NCs were found to reduce cell viability, increase the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modify both the mitochondrial membrane permeability and cell cycle arrest.

Abstract
Abstract
The development of biocompatible, cost effective and more efficient materials to control or inhibit the growth of microorganisms in necessary to fight against resistant microbes. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis of nickel oxide-incorporated polyaniline/polyvinyl alcohol (PANI/PVA/NiOx) composite material by single-step polymerization and its application as antibacterial agent. The composite films were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). UV-Vis spectra revealed the enhancement in absorption properties of PANI/PVA/NiOx with optimum 5% incorporation of NiOx. TGA results indicated slightly enhanced thermal stability of the PANI/PVA/NiOx composite film as compared to PANI/PVA. FTIR spectra for composites revealed the existence of NiOx in polymers. However the crystallinity of PANI/PVA was not much affected. The antibacterial activity of the prepared composites was examined against four different gram negative bacteria, Salmonella, Shigella, Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The composite exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella and Shigella while pseudomonas showed some resistance. Based on the results, PANI/PVA/ NiOx (5%) composite showed the highest activity against the tested bacterial strains, thus showing its potential to be used as an effective antibacterial agent.
