Silver nanoparticles have been fabricated by the method of chemical reduction in solution using different types of stabilizers: an organic low-molecular compound-sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT)- and a natural biologically active substance-antimicrobial cationic polypeptide lysozyme. According to studies of the produced hydrosols, the average size of the shell-coated particles is 20-25 nm. The biological activity of the obtained bioconjugates toward Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ML35p, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (clinical isolate)) and Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes EGD (DD cent DD D'DD-679), MRSA ATCC 33591 (Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin)) bacteria has been investigated by the methods of radial diffusion in an agarose gel and serial dilution in a liquid nutritional medium. It has been established that the antimicrobial activity of the bioconjugates depends on the nature of the used stabilizer.
