The antibacterial capabilities of alginate encapsulated lemon essential oil nanocapsules against multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

ABSTRACT: Controlling microbial pollutants is a significant public health concern as they cause several chronic microbial infections and illnesses. In recent years, essential oils (EOs) have become intriguing alternatives for synthetic antimicrobials due to their biodegradability, natural source extraction, and strong antibacterial properties. The bactericidal properties of alginate containing lemon essential oil were examined in this investigation. Following the screening of the MDR strains, the morphological properties of the produced nanoparticles were examined using SEM, DLS, and FTIR. Additionally, the durability, effectiveness, and drug dispersion of encapsulation were assessed. Bacterial virulence factor gene amounts were measured using Q-real-time PCR. Concurrently, the cytotoxic effect of t
