Among the biological contaminants, waterborne pathogens pose a significant threat to human well-being. Since nanoparticle-based biosensors have a higher sensitivity for detecting bacteria than conventional detection techniques, they have become increasingly prevalent. In this context, the current study reports zinc oxide nanoparticles functionalized with lysozyme (ZnO@LY NPs) via a modified oxidation-reduction mechanism, followed by an assessment of their antibacterial activity. The morphology and size of the functionalized ZnO@LY NPs were determined using Transmission electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light Scattering (DLS), and zeta potential analysis, which revealed nanoparticles of size between 14 and 32 nm with + 31.1 mV charge. Further, the functionalization of ZnO with lysozyme was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The antibacterial efficacy of ZnO@LY NPs and ZnO NPs against Gram-positive bacteria (<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>) was assessed in a comparative study. After 30 min and 24 h of treatment with ZnO@LY NPs at 250 ppm, the agar spot assay revealed the absence of colonies. Similarly, ZnO@LY NPs exhibited a 25 % stronger and statistically significant antibacterial impact than non-functionalized ZnO NPs in the bacterial growth inhibition assay, as confirmed by repeated measures (RM)-ANOVA analysis. Moreover, Dunnett's multiple comparison test revealed that ZnO@LY NPs showed a dose-dependent linear response when compared to ZnO NPs. The superior antibacterial performance of ZnO@LY NPs is attributed to improved bacterial surface interactions, stability, and biocompatibility facilitated by lysozyme functionalization. These findings suggest a potential application of ZnO@LY nanoparticles in biosensors for on-site pathogen detection in wastewater.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100959,"journal":{"name":"Next Nanotechnology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
