Evaluation of the antibacterial and antibiofilm effect of mycosynthesized silver and selenium nanoparticles and their synergistic effect with antibiotics on nosocomial bacteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The healthcare sector faces a growing threat from the rise of highly resistant microorganisms, particularly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR P. aeruginosa). Facing the challenge of antibiotic resistance, nanoparticles have surfaced as promising substitutes for antimicrobial therapy. Recent studies showcase the effectiveness of various fungi species in nanoparticle synthesis. Mycosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using Aspergillus carneus MAK 259 has been investigated and demonstrate antibacterial, antibiofilm and synergistic activities against (MRSA) and (MDR P. aeruginosa).

Results

In the current research, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and selenium nanop
