In this paper, nano-hybrid particles of Ag@Fe2O3 based on O-carboxymethylchitosan were successfully synthesized using different reducing agents (NaBH4, sucrose) and without reducing agent. The smallest silver nanoparticles were those prepared without reducing agent (∼5±3nm). The average size of silver particles prepared with NaBH4 is around 5-15nm, and for samples prepared with sucrose, the average particle size is 10-25nm. The magnetization curves are roughly reversible, indicating that γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles transit to a superparamagnetic state. Nanocomposites subjected to antimicrobial tests showed great antimicrobial activity against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, and good activity against the yeast Candida albicans and resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial behavior as a function of time was investigated in microbial growth kinetics, and the best nanocomposite was the one without reducing agent, which completely inhibited microbial growth for 48h.
