| Abstract | Background The healthcare sector faces a growing threat from the rise of highly resistant microorganisms, particularly Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR P. aeruginosa). Facing the challenge of antibiotic resistance, nanoparticles have surfaced as promising substitutes for antimicrobial therapy. Recent studies showcase the effectiveness of various fungi species in nanoparticle synthesis. Mycosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using Aspergillus carneus MAK 259 has been investigated and demonstrate antibacterial, antibiofilm and synergistic activities against (MRSA) and (MDR P. aeruginosa). Results In the current research, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were produced extracellularly using A. carneus MAK 259 culture supernatants. Colour change, an initial evaluation of the production of AgNPs and SeNPs. Then, UV absorption peaks at 410 nm and 260 nm confirmed the production of AgNPs and SeNPs, respectively. AgNPs and SeNPs were dispersed consistently between 5‒26 nm and 20–77 nm in size, respectively using TEM. FT-IR analysis was used for assessing proteins bound to the produced nanoparticles. The crystallinity and stability of AgNPs and SeNPs was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis and zeta potential measurements, respectively. Antibacterial, antibiofilm and synergistic effects of both (NPs) with antibiotics against MRSA and MDR P. aeruginosa were tested by Agar well diffusion, tissue culture plate and disc diffusion method respectively. Both (NPs) inhibited the growth of P. aeruginosa more than S. aureus. But, SeNPs was stronger. AgNPs had stronger antibiofilm effect especially on biofilms producing S. aureus. as regard synergestic effects, Both (NPs) had higher synergestic effects in combination with cell wall inhibiting antibiotics against P. aeuroginosa While, on S. aureus with antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis and affect metabolic pathways. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that the mycosynthesized SeNPs had remarkable antibacterial effect while, mycosynthesized AgNPs exhibited a considerable antibiofilm effect. Both NPs exhibited higher synergistic effect with antibiotics with different modes of action. This approach could potentially enhance the efficacy of existing antibiotics, providing a new weapon against drug-resistant bacteria where the described silver and selenium nanoparticles play a pivotal role in revolutionizing healthcare practices, offering innovative solutions to combat antibiotic resistance, and contributing to the development of advanced medical technologies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
