Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using the Selected Fruit Peels and Testing Their Antibacterial Effectiveness against Urinary Tract Infection Caused By Escherichia coli

Abstract

Silver Nanoparticles plays a vital role as an antibacterial agent in the pharmaceutical industry and due to its antimicrobial properties, it has been proved to be of immense value as a drug delivery agent. The peels of Litchi fruit were selected for the synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles. The biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles were characterized by techniques such as Uv-Vis Spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, SEM with EDX and TEM analysis. The synergistic effect of Litchi peels synthesized Silver Nanoparticles and the antibiotic combination was examined against Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria E. coli isolated from samples of urine, infected with Urinary Tract Infection. newline
