Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles AgNPs Using Plant Material as Nano Drug Against Pathogenic Bacteria

Abstract

Carica papaya is an important and promising natural medicinal plant which could be utilized in several pharmaceutical and medical applications because of its effectiveness due to antimicrobial properties, availability and safety. The seeds of papaya were targeted towards biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles which were subjected to characterization studies by UV-Vis Spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX and TEM analysis. The individual effect of C. papaya seeds-based silver nanoparticles along with their synergistic effect with antibiotic combination was examined against Gram positive and Gram negative human pathogenic bacteria. newline
