Synthesis of Antimicrobial Gallium Nanoparticles Using the Hot Injection Method.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotic resistance continues to be an ongoing problem in global public health despite interventions to reduce antibiotic overuse. Furthermore, it threatens to undo the achievements and progress of modern medicine. To address these issues, the development of new alternative treatments is needed. Metallic nanoparticles have become an increasingly attractive alternative due to their unique physicochemical properties that allow for different applications and their various mechanisms of action. In this study, gallium nanoparticles (Ga NPs) were tested against several clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DFU53, 364077, and 365707) and multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MRAB). The results showed that Ga NPs did not inhibit bacterial growth when tested against th
