Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit strong antibacterial activity and do not easily induce drug resistance; however, the
poor stability and biocompatibility in solution limit their widespread application. In this study, AgNPs were modified with
Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharide (PSP) to synthesize PSP@AgNPs with good stability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial
activity. When PSP@AgNP synthesis was performed under a reaction time of 70 min, a reaction temperature of 35 °C,
and an AgNO3-
to-PSP volume ratio of 1:1, the synthesized PSP@AgNPs were more regular and uniform than AgNPs, and
their particle size was around 10 nm. PSP@AgNPs exhibited lower cytotoxicity and hemolysis, and stronger bacteriostatic
activity. PSP@AgNPs damage the integrity and internal structure of cells, resulting in the leakage of intracellular nucleic
acids and proteins. The rate of cell membrane damage in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus treated with PSP@
AgNPs increased by 38.52% and 43.75%, respectively, compared with that of AgNPs. PSP@AgNPs inhibit the activities
of key enzymes related to antioxidant, energy and substance metabolism in cells. The inhibitory effects on the activities of
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), adenosine triphosphate enzyme (ATPase), malate dehydrogenase (MDH),
and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in E. coli and S. aureus cells were significantly higher than those of AgNPs. In addition,
compared with AgNPs, PSP@AgNPs promote faster healing of infected wounds. Therefore, PSP@AgNPs represent
potential antibacterial agents against wound infections.
