RE: Enzyme based Nanocomposites: An alternative to the effective killing of Pathogenic Bacteria
Your article is very useful, silver nanoparticles have proven effective in controlling bacteria, and as I read earlier this technique has eliminated more than 630 species of bacteria, and according to a scientific study conducted by Miguel Jose Yacaman and researchers from the University of Texas; silver nanoparticles have proved effective in eliminating HIV-1 virus, so I wonder why this technique was not circulated to eliminate aids arround the world?
i have another question, To what extent does Listeria virus pose a risk to humans?
Thanks for the comment @benainouna
Well, I haven't heard of this. But I can tell you AIDS virus is not something which can be killed easily. As most of the viruses change or modify their envelope protein with new strains and as the AgNPs attacks the surface it can help but the coat protein is really tough to break through. I also have to see this not sure of treating HIV with nanoparticles. First of all, Listeria is a gram-positive bacteria and is mostly known to contaminate the food items, and its infections are disastrous.@vinamra thank you for answering, and about treating HIV They said they had experimented and were effective, but work and research were still going on. I have benefited greatly from your article and from your discussion, thank you very much and I will wait for your next articles. :)
