Antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of silver nanoparticles on multi-drug resistance pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from dental-implant.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim of this study was to isolate multi-drug-resistant p. aeruginosa from dental implant, and control the growth and biofilm of isolated p. aeruginosa by silver nanoparticles.

Materials and methods

Thirty specimens from patients with Peri-implantitis were taken for isolation of p. aeruginosa. Bacterial samples were obtained from the infected peri-implant pocket with sterile paper points (size 30-45 mm). Samples were cultured for isolation of Multi-drug resistance P. aeruginosa. Phenotypical identification was done by the VITEK 2 system. DNA was extracted from the isolates and 16S rDNA-based PCR assay was used to confirm the identification. Susceptibility of isolated p. aeruginosa to 16 antibiotics was evaluated using the VITEK 2 syst
