Cranberry proanthocyanidin-chitosan nanoparticles (PAC-CHT NPs) loaded with antibiotic gentamicin (GEN) (PAC-CHT-GEN NPs) were formulated and characterized according to size, polydispersity (PDI), surface charge, morphology, and encapsulation efficiency (EE). PAC-CHT-GEN NPs were evaluated for their ability to agglutinate E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa and their bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity. Results indicate that the PAC-CHT-GEN NPs at 0.5:1.0, 1.0:1.0, and 2.0:1.0 weight ratios formed stable nanoparticles with sizes from 242.9 to 277.4 nm, a PDI from 0.344 to 0.391, and a zeta potential from 34.5 to 38.5 mV, and up to 94% EE. Results indicate that PAC-CHT-GEN NPs have the ability to agglutinate E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa. Furthermore, PAC-CHT-GEN NPs exhibited greater bactericidal activity than GEN alone. Results suggested PAC-CHT-GEN NPs form stable, round-shaped, and bioactive nanoparticles with the potential to be use in the treatment of bacterial infections.

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers. Drug Carrier

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
D013818 Thermogravimetry Technique whereby the weight of a sample can be followed over a period of time while its temperature is being changed (usually increased at a constant rate). Thermogravimetries
D017550 Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared A spectroscopic technique in which a range of wavelengths is presented simultaneously with an interferometer and the spectrum is mathematically derived from the pattern thus obtained.
