Inhibition of Biofilm and Virulence Properties of Pathogenic Bacteria by Silver and Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized from Lactiplantibacillus sp. Strain C1.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of antibiotic resistance in microbial pathogens necessitates the development of alternative ways to combat the infections that arise. The current study used nanotechnology as an alternate technique to control virulence characteristics and biofilm development in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Furthermore, based on the acceptance and biocompatibility of the probiotic bacteria, we chose a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for synthesizing two types of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in this study. Using molecular techniques, the LAB strain C1 was isolated from Kimchi food samples and identified as Lactiplantibacillus sp. strain C1. The prepared supernatant from strain C1 was used to produce gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)
