Assessment of Anti-bacterial Activity of Herbal Silver Nanoparticles of Peristrophe bicalyculata (R.) Nees

Abstract

Herbal medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine for generations, and it's fascinating to see how contemporary research has found the key components responsible for their healing properties. Silver nanoparticles were synthesised utilising a hydroalcoholic extract of Peristrophe bicalyculata (R.) Nees leaves (HAEPBL) and various concentrations of silver nitrate. The antibacterial activity of plant extracts and silver nanoparticles was then tested against several pathogenic bacteria using the disc diffusion method.The results show that herbal silver nanoparticles have promising antibacterial properties.
