摘要：The aim and objective of the present work is to synthesize silver nanoparticles and to study the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticle coated medical dressings against wound causing organisms. In the future, this can lead to wound care management through nanotechnology. The nanoparticles were synthesized by using E. coli in silver nitrate solution (10 -3 M) as a commonly available strain, and activity was observed against S. aureus as a test culture. Dressings were prepared and coated with silver nanoparticles and routine antimicrobial tests were performed in microbiology laboratory. It was observed that a synthesized nanoparticle was effective against the gram negative organism. Such E. coli induced silver nanoparticles showed a good bactericidal activity, This is the first reported study of E. coli coated medical dressings in the area of nanotechnology; the results are discussed in detail with photographs, along with further study designed to improve the range of bacteria which enable the control of antibiotic resistance in wound care management. doi: 10.14456/WJST.2014.84
