Enhanced anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus activity of bacteriocin by encapsulation on silver nanoparticles

The antibacterial property of silver nanoparticles (SNP) for combating antibiotic resistant bacteria has become increasingly important as a result of the emergence of multiple drug resistant pathogens. Due to a broader antibacterial range and decreased production doses, a combination of antibacterial agents and SNPs may prove to be more effective. Bacteriocin capped silver nanoparticles was characterized by UV–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy,...
