Overcoming multidrug-resistant bacteria and fungi by green synthesis of AgNPs using Nepeta pogonosperma extract, optimization, characterization and evaluation of antibacterial and antifungal effects
Abstract:This study explained a green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Nepeta pogonosperma extract and evaluated their antibacterial activity. Optimization of the temperature, concentration, pH, and reaction time was established to produce silver nanoparticles. The best condition was 10 mM AgNO3, pH = 14, temperature 85 °C, and reaction time 24 hours. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by colour-changing, UV-vis, FE-SEM, EDX, XRD, FT-IR, and DLS analysis. The prepared AgNPs had a spheric… Show more
