Objective: The present study was carried out for investigating the antibacterial activity of sliver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) biologically synthesized from the medicinal plant Aegle marmelos.
Methods: The silver nanoparticles from Aegle marmelos was impregnated onto a blank disks with different concentrations viz., 1mM, 3 mM and 5 mM and tested for its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Pseudomonas aeuruginosa (ATCC 27853), and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231).
Results: The results indicated highest antimicrobial activity against E.coli and P. aeruginosa as a solution for finding.
Conclusion: The ability of Aegle marmelos silver nanoparticle to inhibit bacterial and fungi is an indication of its broad spectrum antimicrobial activity which could be a potential source of antibiotic which is cost effective and eco-friendly against drug resistant organisms.
