ABSTRACT
abstract This study examines the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles incorporated into nanostructured membranes made of cellulose acetate (CA) and blends of chitosan/poly-(ethylene oxide, CTS/PEO) and prepared by electrospinning. The formation of chemically synthesized Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size distribution of the AgNPs was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS), with an average size of approximately 20 nm. The presence of AgNPs on the surface of electrospun nanofibers was observed by field emission electron microscopy (FEG) and confirmed by TEM. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs incorporated into nanostructured membranes made of CA and CTS/PEO electrospun nanofibers was evaluated in the presence of both Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 and Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919, and Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli ATCC 25992 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933. Microbiological results showed that the presence of AgNPs in CA and CTS/PEO nanostructured membranes has significant antimicrobial activity for the Gram-positive bacteria Escherichia coli and Propionibacterium acnes.
RESUMO
resumo Neste trabalho avaliou-se a atividade antimicrobiana das nanopartículas de prata (AgNPs) incorporadas em membranas de acetato celulose (AC) e blendas de quitosana/poli-óxido de etileno (CTS/PEO) preparadas pelo método de eletrofiação. A formação das AgNPs previamente sintetizadas foi monitorada por UV-Vis e caracterizada por microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET). A distribuição de tamanho das AgNPs foi mensurada por espalhamento de luz dinâmico, com tamanho médio em torno de 20 nm. A presença das NPs na superfície das nanofibras eletrofiadas foi observada por microscopia eletrônica com emissão de campo (FEG) e confirmada por MET. A atividade antimicrobiana das membranas nanoestruturadas de AC e CTS/PEO foi avaliada pelo uso de bactérias Gram-positivas, tais como Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 e Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919, e Gram-negativas, como Escherichia coli ATCC 25992 e Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933. Os resultados microbiológicos mostraram a presença das AgNPs nas membranas de AC e CTS/PEO com significativa atividade antimicrobiana para Escherichia coli e Propionibacterium acnes, respectivamente.
