Aim and Background: Nanocomposites are prepared from various materials that may have antibacterial activity. This study aimed to investigate antibacterial and antifungal activityies of nanocomposites of bohemite-gold and bohemite-gold-chitosan by help of aqeous extract of peppermint.
Material and methods: In the current study, the nanocomposites were prepared by exextracellular biosynthesis and antibacterial properties were investigated by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and killing-time curve by classic method of consecutive dilutions by Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute.
Results:The results showed that MIC and MBC were 10 µg/mL and 20 µg/mL for bohemite group, respectively. The results also showed that MIC and MBC were 2.50 µg/mL and 5 µg/mL against Acinetobacter baumannii and 5 µg/mL and 10 µg/mL against Escherichia coli, respectively. The greatest antibacterial activity for of bohemite-gold and bohemite-gold-chitosan was observed for a period of 6 to 24 h. Based on ourfindings, bohemite showed lower antibacterial activity compared with bohemite-gold and bohemite-gold-chitosan against the mentioned bacteria.
Conclusion: The prepared nanocomposites did not show any antifungal activity. Thus, bohemite-gold and bohemite-gold-chitosan nanocomposites have antibacterial activities against bacteria inducing infection in wound.
