The increased use of iron-containing nanoparticles and green synthesis nanoparticles is beneficial and less harmful to the environment and human health. Working antimicrobial peptide functions by inhibiting the virulence factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is the essential mechanism of drug resistance by possessing an efflux pump important virulent factor. The main aim of the research was to study the effects of synergistic action of gentamicin (GNT) and iron nanoparticles (IONps) to solve the problem of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa. Methods. The isolation and identification of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa from burns and wound infections were carried out using the VITEK 2 system, and the phzM genes were detected in all the strains. The effectiveness of IONps and their role in reducing phzM gene expression were investigated. Results. The characterization of IONps biologically manufactured using a wavelength spectrum UV-vis spectrophotometer (maximum peak at 600 nm) and tests of atomic force microscopy showed that their diameter reached 34 nm. An electron microscope examination revealed that the produced particles were spherical, indicating good homogeneity and quality of the IONps. The results showed significant down-regulation changes in phzM expression after treatment with GNT and IONps. The result of qRT-PCR in this study revealed that the fold change in the expression of the phzM gene was downregulated in response to the IONps (8µg/mL) + GNT (16µg/mL) combination. Conclusions. One of the justifications for using P. aeruginosa in preparing IONps is that this bacteria needs iron as a growth promoter, which helps in the formation of IONps. The inhibitory effect on the efflux pump gene expression may represent a potential strategy for controlling P. aeruginosa infections.
