Hi! we unfortunately weren’t able to research this in our lab but labs we took inspiration from have gathered evidence that shows that palladium nanoparticles have little to no cytotoxic effects on human eukaryotic cells. This is definitely something my lab group was interested in researching further
Palladium nanoparticles are able to enter the salmonella through its semipermeable membrane and almost rip the salmonella apart from within. They are also able to do this from the outside of the bacteria too
What are the specific properties of platonanoparticles and transition metals that make them have traits like antibiotics? Why do gold nanoparticles impact the amount of salmonella?
Hi! Palladium nanoparticles and transition metals are water soluble, are stable at body temperature, and have shown evidences to not only kill bacteria but show little to no cytotoxic effects to human eukaryotic cells. We expected the gold nanoparticles to act similarly to the palladium nanoparticles but hypothesize that something went wrong in the handling of the gold so that it did not end up resulting how we expected it to.
Gold was added to the salmonella so my lab group could try out two metals instead of one out of curiosity, we expected the gold to kill the salmonella but were surprised to see that it had no effect on the salmonella.
Since the palladium nanoparticles had a habit of falling to the bottom of their containers/well plates my lab hypothesized that any solution that was thicker than DMSO that didn’t contain any antibiotic properties itself would be a suitable replacement.
As of right now there is no conclusive research on the risks of using palladium as an antibiotic, we have hypothesized that some risks may include how the body will store or get rid of these particles and the effect of these particles on the blood stream and other filter like aspects of the human body.

Why is gold added to the salmonella? and how does it relate to the overall absorbance of salmonella.
