Toxicity mechanisms in Escherichia coli vary for silver nanoparticles and differ from ionic silver

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are commonly added to various consumer products and materials to impair bacterial growth. Recent studies suggested that the primary mechanism of antibacterial action of silver nanoparticles is release of silver ion (Ag(+)) and that particle-specific activity of silver nanoparticles is negligible. Here, we used a genome-wide library of Escherichia coli consisting of ∼4000 single gene deletion mutants to elucidate which physiological pathways are involved in how E. coli responds to different Ag NPs. The nanoparticles studied herein varied in both size and surface charge. AgNO3 was used as a control for soluble silver ions. Within a series of differently sized citrate-coated Ag NPs, smaller size resulted in higher Ag ion dissolution and toxicity. Nanoparticles functionalized with cationic, branched polyethylene imine (BPEI) exhibited equal toxicity with AgNO3. When we used a genome-wide approach to investigate the pathways involved in the response of E. coli to different toxicants, we found that only one of the particles (Ag-cit10) exhibited a pattern of response that was statistically similar to that of silver ion. By contrast, the pathways involved in E. coli response to Ag-BPEI particles were more ...Continue Reading

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.
