摘要
Due to the broad-spectrum of antibiotic resistance, herein we investigated the possibility of using imipenem-conjugated silver nanoparticles (IMP-AgNPs) against multidrug-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For this purpose, 200 clinical isolates were tested against different antibiotics to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility. To identify blaVIM and blaIMP resistance genes, PCR was used. The synthesized AgNPs and conjugants were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, TEM, DLS, and FTIR. The stability, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, hemolytic and apoptotic effects of NPs were also investigated. MIC of the imipenem, AgNPs, and conjugants were evaluated versus P. aeruginosa isolates. Finally, the effects of the IMP-AgNPs to heal burn wounds in rats was evaluated. According to the results, about 68% of isolates showed resistance to imipenem (MIC ≥ 64 μg/ml to ≥ 512 μg/ml). Analytical results verified the synthesis of AgNPs and IMP-AgNPs. A Dose-dependent decrease happened in terms of the MIC values of IMP-AgNPs were also affected by the existence of resistant genes. Low cytotoxic was observed regarding AgNPs which lead to apoptosis. The histopathological results showed a considerable epithelization in treated groups with IMP-AgNPs. Accordingly, IMP-AgNPs can be considered as a powerful antibacterial agent to treat the infections caused by multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa.
