INTRODUCTION
One area in healthcare that is being revolutionized by nanotechnology is the creation of novel drugs. owing to their unique properties, such as increased surface area, reactivity, and the potential to enhance drug delivery, oxides of metals, especially particularly their nanotechnology (NPs), have garnered a lot of attention throughout different nanomaterials. The development of new medications is one aspect of medical treatment that nanostructures is revolutionizing. Metallic oxides, and in specifically their nanoparticles (NPs), have attracted a lot of interest among other types of nanostructures due to their distinct physical features, which include improved area of coverage, responsiveness, and the ability to improve drug administration.
The lower susceptibility of drugs to bacteria has made it necessary to research for new antimicrobial agents. Oxide particles have antibacterial properties against a variety of diseases. The experiments show that these nanoparticles can rend bacterial membranes and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), all of which can lead to the death of cells [1].
Some tests can provide potential risks of NP use by estimating transmembrane health and the longevity of cells, such as MTT and LDH tests, which measure cell death rate and therefore evaluate the effect of these particles on human cells [2]. The main outcome of choleretics is the bacterial infection. This is an outstanding puff of the gastrointestinal tract. The Cit koseri and scalloped fonticuli bacteria are species associated with a condition called.
The microbe the ship Serratia fonticuli is a Gram-negative microbe that has been obtained from a range of healthcare settings. It is famous for existing in harsh environments and for its ability to cause damage to human life, particularly vulnerable individuals. Recent studies have found that it is powerful versus common therapies, making it a crucial area of research for novel antimicrobial techniques [3,4]. Citrus bacterium koseri are therefore a distinct type of Gram-negative bacteria associated with infections.
It is especially noteworthy for its capacity to spread throughout newborns’ neurological systems. Different methods for treatment are desperately needed, as evidenced by the increasing prevalence of resistant to antibiotics amongst C. koseri genotypes in question [5].
In hospitals, serrate fonticuli and Citrobacter species koseri are acknowledged as aggressive and new infections. Despite being primarily ecological, living in soil and water, S. fonticuli continue to be linked more and more to illnesses related to healthcare, especially in immunocompromised people. Biofilm is a generation, biochemical virulence indicators (such as hemoglobin and proteins), and inherent susceptibility to β-lactams because of Ampc a type of enzyme and extended-spectrum a type of enzyme (ESBLS) are the main causes of its pathogenic [6,7]. Infections of the urine tract (UTIS), pneumonia, which is a condition known as and few instances of newborn diarrhea are among the illnesses [8]. On the other hand, C. koseri is well-known for its preference for newborns, which results in fatalities and extensive encephalopathy with distinctive brain tumors. Its aggressiveness depends on attachment elements like type 1 fibrous structures and external membrane protein A (Ompa), as well as monocyte proliferation and the blood–brain barrier permeability [9,10]. It mostly caused pneumonia, device-associated bacteremia, and UTIS in people; it is frequently connected to the formation of fouling on catheters that are embedded [11]. In both diseases, different forms of drug resistance make therapies more difficult. As the number of diseases caused by these microorganisms rises, it is critical to enhance surveillance, especially in hospitals, and to comprehend their unique pathogenic mechanisms in order to inform preventative measures and tailored treatments.
The antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of yttrium nanoparticles (Y₂O₃) against the Cit koseri and scalloped fonticuli bacteria, which have been isolated from patients with diarrhea, are the focus of this study. In determining how effective Y₂O₃ NPs can be against these bacteria, we want to contribute to the development of new medicines for drug-sensitive diseases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Microbial Diseases: Bile samples from patients with diarrhea were used to identify Citrus koseri and Serbia fonticuli. Following being confirmed using standard microbiological techniques, the bacteria were stored on micronutrients agar at 4°C prior to usage.
Antimicrobial Health Conditions: Bile samples from people who had dysentery were used to identify Grapefruit koseri and Serbia fonticuli. Before being used, the beneficial microbes were kept on multivitamin agar at 4°C after being examined using conventional bacterial methods.
Cultural diversity Communication
For the culture of bacterial cells, nourishment broth and agar (nutrition, blood, and bile culture) were utilized. Normal processes were followed in the preparation of every medium.
Methods
Bacterial Culture
1. The mutants of serrated fonticuli and a bacteria called Cit koseri were cultivated for a 24-hour period at 37°C in a broth containing nutrients.
2. Bacterial suspensions were prepared to achieve an optical density (OD) of 0.1 at 600 nm, corresponding to approximately 1 × 10⁸ CFU/mL.
The current study highlights the prevalence of Serratia fonticuli and Citrobacter koseri among 83 bacterial isolates, with S. fonticuli accounting for 6.0% (n=5) and C. koseri for 7.2% (n=6). The 6.0% prevalence of S. fonticuli reflects its role as an environmental organism capable of causing nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised hosts or those with prolonged hospital stays.
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Determination
Preparation of Y₂O₃ Nanoparticle Solutions
Stock solutions of Y₂O₃ nanoparticles were prepared at concentrations of 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 µg/mL.
MIC Testing
A microdilution method was employed to determine the MIC against both bacterial strains.
In a 96-well microtiter plate, 100 µL of nutrient broth was added to each well.
100 µL of each Y₂O₃ nanoparticle solution was added to designated wells, followed by the addition of 100 µL of bacterial suspension.
The final concentrations tested for S. fonticuli were 50, 75, 100,150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 µg/mL.
The final concentrations tested for C. koseri were 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 µg/mL.
The plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours.
Assessment of Bacterial Growth
After incubation, the wells were examined for turbidity. The lowest concentration exhibiting no visible growth was recorded as the MIC.
Cytotoxicity Assays
Cytotoxicity of Y₂O₃ nanoparticles was assessed using standard assays, including MTT and LDH assays, on human cell lines.
Statistical Analysis
All experiments were performed in triplicate. Outcomes were presented as mean ± deviations after data analysis using the proper tools for statistical analysis.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron microscopy by scanning (SEM), and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) were used to determine the microscopic and compositional characteristics of y2o3 NMs.
To find the functional families of Y2O3 NMs, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopic study was employed.
Fig. 1 shows the SEM image of prepared nanoparticles. The SEM images showed the uniform nanoparticles.
The existence of YO₃ nanomaterials in the 400–4000 cm-1 region is confirmed through the acquired FT-IR spectroscopy. with additional peaks suggesting some adsorbed moisture or organic/carbonate impurities—common during synthesis or handling.as shown in figure at 3404 cm⁻¹ (Broad peak) This typically corresponds to O–H stretching vibrations, indicating adsorbed moisture or hydroxyl groups on the nanoparticle surface, at 1507 cm⁻¹ and 1397 cm⁻¹ These peaks can be attributed to C=O and C–O stretching vibrations, possibly from carbonate species (CO₃²⁻) or trace organic contaminants (common in synthesis using organics or atmospheric exposure) and the characteristic Y–O stretching vibration at the fingerprint region (below 600 cm⁻¹) Specifically at 558 cm⁻¹confirming the formation of yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) while at 462 cm⁻¹ its consistent with metal-oxide bonding finally at 415 cm⁻¹ its further confirming the presence of Y₂O₃ structure (Fig. 2).
Under specific circumstances, the framework of the intersystem crystallographic function of coatings is examined using the shape of X-ray scattering observations.
Both the incident and reflective angles are scanned by the calculation that follows. The following are the requirements include the length of the beam is λ = 1.54056 Å, the value of the voltage is 40.0 KV, the current flowing is 30.0 ma, and the target is Cu Kα irradiation. The 2θ approach is used to scan the direct and reflection angles. Fig. 3 displays the XRD structure of Y₂O₃ NMs, which confirms the extremely crystallized, homogeneous cubic phase in Y₂O₃ by displaying crisp and powerful scattering lines. The major diffraction peaks are observed at 20.8º, 29.2º, 33.2º, 29.2º,33.2º,36.0º, 39.6º,48.5º,56.4º,60.6º and 73.5º. The absence of extra peaks indicates no detectable impurities or secondary phases.
Results in Table 2 showed that the mean values for the HdFn cell line show a clear upward trend as the concentration decreases. Starting from 72.03 at 400 µg/ml, the mean increases consistently, peaking at 95.99 at 25 µg/ml. This implies that smaller amounts might increase HdFn cell turnover, suggesting a possible medical advantage at fewer dosages. The HepG2 cell line, on the other hand, has significantly smaller average numbers. The average value is just 30.21 at 400 µg/ml, but it progressively increases to 80.48 at 25 µg/ml. This suggests that Hepg2 cells are less responsive to the treatment than HdFn cells, which may reflect inherent differences in cell line behavior or metabolic responses.
The higher mean values observed in HdFn cells indicate their suitability for investigating cellular mechanisms at lower concentrations. However, Hepg2 may be more pertinent to research on particular routes of metabolism or safety evaluations.
The data presented in Table 3 showed the inhibitory responses of HdFn and HepG2 cell lines to a specific inhibitor, The results indicate that the HdFn cell line exhibits a higher IC50 value (246.9 µM) compared to the HepG2 cell line (164.5 µM), suggesting that HepG2 cells are more sensitive to the inhibitor. There are variances among the two cell lines, such as the blocking reaction, as seen by the somewhat shallower slope of the Hill slopes for HepG2 and the pronounced reaction for HdFn.
The high R² value (0.9603) demonstrates a good fit of the model to the data, indicating reliable results from the analysis.
Results reveals the dose-response relationship of two treatments, HdFn and HepG2. 246.9 μg/ml was found to be the value of the IC50. The cells from HepG2 significantly kinder to the compound than the HdFn cell conformity, as seen by their inhibitory concentration (IC50), which was 164.5 μg/ml. This implies because at this dosage, the HdFn cells’ lifetime is reduced by 50%.
Oxygen oxide is a highly uncommon chemical compound that has exceptional endurance and physiological friendliness. It can be customized for specific applications. There are multiple techniques that can be employed to produce Y₂O₃ nanomaterials, such as heating, sol-gel, and co-precipitate methods. Each method has a special advantage for controlling the particle size, shape, and condensation. All of which have effect on how they behave in biological influence [11].
If the Y2O₃ NPs interact with the microbial membranes, the framework might be damaged. Increased permeability, the loss of essential cellular components, and eventually cell lysis are the results of this disruption [12]. By producing (ROS), yttrium oxide nanomaterials can cause bacterial cells to become inflamed. DNA, cholesterol, and proteins can be damage by Hazardous chemicals, which can result in premature death of cells. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that (Y₂O₃) NPs disrupt a number of biological functions, influencing the development and multiplication of microorganisms [13]. Despite promising antibacterial properties, their detrimental effects on human cells must be understood in order to assess their safety in medical [14].
CONCLUSION
Investigating hydrogen oxide particles as possible antiseptics is an interesting tactic to combat drug-sensitive bacteria. For their continued use in treatments in the years that followed, it was essential to comprehend their methods of use, harmful effects, and effectiveness against actual illnesses. The results of this study may lead to new approaches to treating illnesses related to pneumonia and related conditions. The findings will shed light on Y₂O₃ NPs potential as antibiotics. The newly released study also emphasizes how crucial it is to comprehend how various cell types react to drugs in order to develop safer and more efficient treatments.
