INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology means any technology on a Nano scale that has applications in the world, nanotechnology has many applications in physical, chemical, and biological systems at scales ranging from individual atoms or molecules to submicron dimensions, nanotechnology have impact on our economy and society in the early 21st century. Science and technology research in Nanotechnology promise breakthrough in areas as manufacturing, medicine, Nano electronics and healthcare, its widely felt that Nanotechnology will be the next industrial revolution. The definition of nanoparticles is an aggregate of atoms bonded together with radius between 1 and 100 nm. The discovery of novel materials, processes and phenomena at Nano scale and development of new experiment and theoretical technique for research provide new opportunities for development of Nano system and nanostructured materials (Bhui et al., 2011). Chitosan obtained from a natural polymer chitin has antibacterial feature. As a polycationic polymer, chitosan is an environmentally friendly material because of its biodegradability. Nontoxic and antibacterial features of chitosan make it usable for many areas related to human health (Zhang et al., 2012). Silver (Ag) ion has been used for a long time as antibacterial agent due to its strong inhibiting effect on bacteria. Recently, nanoparticle Ag has taken considerable attention to provide maximum bactericidal effect with minimum amount of Ag (Cao et al., 2010). Comparative studies showed that chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composite is much more effective against bacteria than pure chitosan (Ali et al., 2011). Chitosan is also used as a stabilizer instead of chemical reducing agent for protecting Ag nanoparticles from agglomeration. Because of these specialties of chitosan and Ag, chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composite has been taken in attention (Tankhiwale et al., 2010 and Ali et al., 2011). In these studies, characterization of chitosan-Ag nanoparticles by spectroscopic methods and antibacterial effects of these materials was investigated. However, chitosan (Zhang et al., 2012).Ag nanoparticle separately have been studied extensively (Spadaro et al., 2012) but further investigations about chitosan-Ag nanoparticles are only rarely carried out. Different techniques were preferred to synthesize chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composites by researchers (Tankhiwale et al., 2010 and Ali et al., 2011). The chitosan- Ag nanoparticles were prepared using chitosan in aqueous solution of acetic acid (Li et al., 2013). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV spectrophotometer and particles size and zeta potential (NCS) were used for characterization of the size and structure of chitosan-Ag nanoparticles (Ali et al., 2011). The antibacterial effectiveness was determined by bacteria isolated from diabetic feet. In this study, chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composite was synthesized by biological method in the aqueous sodium hydroxide (Nadagouda et al., 2011). Both of the structural characterization and antibacterial effectiveness of chitosan-Ag nanoparticles against bacteria isolated from diabetic feet were investigated. The effect of chitosan concentration of the composite material on the structure and antibacterial activity was also investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study has been performed in Biophysics Department, Faculty of science, CairoUniversity and Clinical Pathology Department, Cairo University Hospital, Egypt. a. Chemicals: Silver nitrate (Ag NO3), chitosan, acetic acid and sodium hydroxyl (NaOH), most these chemicals were purchased from sigma chemicals CO - ADWTC Egypt. The used water was distilled by using water distillation apparatus. b. Different types of media: Different types of media can be used depending on type of microorganism we wish to isolate. - Selective media contained substances that stimulates the growth of all bacteria and suppresses the growth of unwanted bacteria (e.g. Tetrathionate broth that inhibits coliforms). - Differential Media allowed only a particular type of bacteria to grow on it, (e.g. MacConkey agar for growing gram-negative bacteria). - Anerobic Media was used for growing anaerobic organisms (e.g. Roberson’s cooked meat). - Blood Agar Media are enriched, differential media used to isolate fastidious organisms and detect hemolytic activity. β- Hemolytic activity showed lysis and complete digestion of red blood cell contents surrounding colony. Chitosan solution 0.5 % was prepared by dissolving 0.5 gm chitosan in acetic acid (100 ml / 0.1 %). Silver nitrate 0.5 gm was added to 10 ml of deionized water, and then mixed with 50 ml of chitosan solution on heating with magnetic stirring at 120 C. 1.5 ml NaOH was added drop by drop, and the mixture was heating for approximately 20 min. Yellow color appeared after adding NaOH, indicating the formation of chitosan-silver nanoparticles. The study varying concentration of chitosan 0.5% - 0.25 % - 0.125 %- 0.05% were used. The preliminary detection of silver nanoparticles was carried out by visual observation of color change of mixture (yellow color appeared). UV-Visible spectroscopy was used to track silver nanoparticles. Formation in chitosan mixture absorption measurement were carried out on (UV-3/0.1 pc UV –vis NIR scanning spectrophotometer) and scanning the spectra between 350nM and 700Nm at resolution of 1Nm. Particle size and zeta potential were assessed on zeta sizer Nano Zsgo by dynamic light scattering measurement (DLS) the analysis was performed at scattering angle of 90o under 25 C. (TEM) Transmission were done by using a (JEol -2100 high resolution TEM) operated at an accelerating voltage at 200 KV. The histogram of particle size distribution was constructed analyzing several frames of similar images. Medical specimens were collected from infector wounds of (25) diabetic feet's patients at El –Kasur EL –Eine hospital in Egypt. Isolates were cultured by using aerobic and anaerobic microbiology techniques, and identified by morphological, staining methods, and biochemical tests. Isolates were also tested for susceptibility to commonly used antibiotics and different concentration of Ct-Ag NPs.

DISCUSSION In the current study AgNPs were synthesized in chitosan polymer by using biological methods the color was turned to yellow that indicated formation of ct- AgNPs .This change in color has been previously observed by several investigator who suggested that the color change occurred due to the surface Plasmon resonance of deposited AgNPs and we observed that as concentration of ct- increase the color resultant turned to dark yellow. it could be seen that the absorption peaks at approximately (380 – 425 nm). Also, UV absorption peak of chitosan-Ag nanoparticles prepared by other researchers was recorded in the range 410–425 nm (Holtzet et al., 2012). The particle size distribution of ct-AgNps was analyzed by using (DLS) technique the graph of nanocomposite was found to be positively charged .in contrast to earlier studies. TEM has provided the morphology and size details of AgNPs embedded in chitosan matrix.the particles embedded in crosslinking cts matrix are well separated and dispersed.The particles presented an elliptical spherical structure and their size no more than (20nm). As no other protective agent added in the system, chitosan molecule acted as dispersant to prevent growth and aggregation of particle synthesis process of AgNPs and this result similar to Benn (2010). Furuo et al. (2014) reported that AgNps were known to have strong antimicrobial activity towards Gram negative bacteria than gram positive and the results of identification of our experiment have showed that: total number of bacteria isolates was 25 which included 4 genera (Escherichia coli, pseudomonas spp, Klebsiella spp, and proteus spp). E.coli was the most common isolate, being from 32%of total number of bacteria and this results agreed with previous work carried out by Gadepilli et al. (2015) on 80 diabetic foots patients demonstrated that 82.5% of polymicrobial flora with an average of 2.3species per patient and aerobic to anaerobic ratio was 5.5.The most commonly isolated pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus, proteus spp, and E.coli. Another study by Zubair et al. (2012) reported that polymicrobial etiology in 65% cases of DFI with predominance of E. coli and S. aureus. In our experiment, we studied sensitivity of isolated bacteria to different concentrations of Ct-AgNps. The most effective concentration of Ct-AgNps solution was 0.5%. Helander et al. (2010) found that the presence of small percentage of AgNps in composite was enough to enhance antimicrobial activity scientifically towards Gram –negative and Gram-positive bacteria as compared with pure chitosan. In this study, we used AgNPS in different concentration of chitosan composite due to chitosan have been widely established as delivery matrices for number of pharmaceutical applications, and also to decrease release and toxicity of silver nanoparticles from composite. CONCLUSION The antibacterial properties of chitosan-Ag nanoparticle composite materials and the effects of chitosan concentration of composite materials on the structure and the antibacterial effectiveness were investigated against bacteria isolated from diabetic feet. Antibacterial effect of chitosan-Ag nanoparticle materials increased with increasing chitosan concentration of the composite material. The results of this study also suggested that the presence of a small percentage of Ag nanoparticles in different concentration of chitosan composite was enough to enhance antibacterial activity significantly towards isolated bacteria.
