Abstract
: In this present study, a hybrid Chi-Fe3O4 was prepared, characterised and evaluated for its antibacterial and
antibiofilm potential against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus marcescens bacterial pathogens. Intense peak around
260 nm in the ultraviolet–visible spectrum specify the formation of magnetite nanoparticles. Spherical-shaped particles with less
agglomeration and particle size distribution of 3.78–46.40 nm were observed using transmission electron microscopy analysis
and strong interaction of chitosan with the surface of magnetite nanoparticles was studied using field emission scanning
microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction analysis exhibited the polycrystalline and spinel structure configuration of the
nanocomposite. Presence of Fe and O, C and Cl elements were confirmed using energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopic analysis showed the reduction and formation of Chi-Fe3O4 nanocomposite. The antibacterial
activity by deformation of the bacterial cell walls on treatment with Chi-Fe3O4 nanocomposite and its interaction was visualised
using FESEM and the antibiofilm activity was determined using antibiofilm assay. In conclusion, this present study shows the
green synthesis of Chi-Fe3O4 nanocomposite and evaluation of its antibacterial and antibiofilm potential, proving its significance
in medical and biological applications
