Abstract

The unearthing of various forms of broad and narrow-spectrum antibiotics have helped mankind combat various forms of microbic infections ranging from protozoal to bacterial. The applicability of antibiotics has been decisive in a wide range of frontline therapeutic dealings. An extensive use of antibiotics and certain genetic modifications in microbes has paved the way for a new issue to be answered by the scientific community, an antibiotic resistance. An unparallel infections triggered by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) account to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity, today this situation demands the development of alternative strategies of cure and medicine by the scientific community. Study shows the amplification of the effect of antibiotics may be a possible route to address antibiotic resistivity. The assortment of various surface properties of nanoparticles (NPs) coupled with their ability to efficiently bind with bacterial surfaces leading to the rupture and lysis of cell deliberates potential strategies to manage infections caused by MDROs.The present study scrutinizes the amplification of the antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin (CIP) against the bacterial strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas and Streptococcus mutans on coupling with synthesized copper, silver and zinc oxide NPs (ZnO NPs) by disc diffusion technique. The current study describes the efficacious synthesis and characterization of ZnONP, copper Nps (CuNPs) and silver NPs (AgNPs) followed by the induced amplification of the antibacterial activity of CIP by coupling it with synthesized metal/metal oxide (M/MO NP). The synthesized M/MO NPs were characterized using XRD and FE-SEM studies and TEM. The results indicated that among the ZnONP, AgNP, the Cu NPs potentiate the bactericidal efficacy of CIP antibiotics.
