Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by chemical reduction method, using different reducing systems. The interaction of AgNPs and vancomycin hydrochloride (V) was investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, and their tendency to form AgNP@V associations or complexes was identified in colloidal solutions. Moreover their affinity to self-assembly and aggregate is also examined. This behavior is important and decisively influences the antimicrobial effect of AgNP@V complexes. Keywords: silver nanoparticles, vancomycin, UV-VIS spectroscopy
INTRODUCTION The current need for novel syntheses and functionalization methods of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for gaining an enhanced antimicrobial activity represents a great challenge in the development of new antimicrobials. [...]
