Abstract

The discovery of antibacterial drugs to combat the spread of infectious diseases brought a great relief to the health community which allowed the medical professionals to treat and reduce death rate arising from infections caused by microorganisms. The need to search and formulate more potent and efficient antimicrobial drugs become necessary due to resistance of some microorganisms to available and existing antimicrobial drugs. Chitosan was extracted from crab shell waste through the stages of demineralization, deproteinization, and deacetylation. The chitosan (CHS) was further modified with silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution using various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 M) in order to enhance its antimicrobial property. The crab shell powder (CSP) and chitosan (CHS) were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy. (SEM-EDS). The antimicrobial activity (zone of inhibition) was carried out using disk diffusion method. The result showed that E.coli and Pseudopodium showed the highest susceptibility of 10.2 ± 0.2 mm with extract from chitosan treated with 1.5 M silver nitrate (1.5 SNCHE) at 1000 µg/L whereas the least susceptibility was observed to be E. coli (2.0 ± 0.1 mm) with extract from chitosan treated with 1.0 M silver nitrate (1.0 SNCHE) at 250 µg/L. However, untreated chitosan extract (UCHSE) did not exhibit any antimicrobial effect against any of the tested microorganisms. The proximate analysis of CHS and CHN showed % crude protein to be 12.24 ± 0.01 and 20.54 ± 0.03 respectively. The FT-IR spectra of CHS and CHN showed their characteristic absorption peaks and the diffractograms of CSP and CHS revealed CaCO3 to be the major mineral component in the samples.
