Abstract:

In order to study the synergistic antibacterial effect between bimetallic nanoparticles and prevent metal nanoparticle agglomeration, a ″dragon fruit″ type of high-load (50%) silica coated silver-copper bimetallic nanoparticle antibacterial agent (Ag-Cu/SiO2) was prepared using the aerosol one-step method. The structure of Ag-Cu/SiO2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, electron spectroscopy, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and time-kill curves of 50%Ag-Cu/SiO2 against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was also studied. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacterial cells were subsequently investigated. The results show that the silver-copper bimetallic nanoparticles uniformly are dispersed in the spherical silica, presenting a "dragon fruit" structure. The Ag-Cu/SiO2 has better antibacterial properties than Cu/SiO2 and Ag/SiO2 with the same loading (50%). The MIC of Ag-Cu/SiO2 against both bacteria was 2 μg/mL and the growth of bacteria was fully inhibited within 24 h. The level of ROS produced by Ag-Cu/SiO2 is significantly higher than that of single metal nanoparticles and it causes the bacteria to die, indicating that the bimetallic nanoparticles have synergistic antibacterial effect.
