- Abstract
Background: The development of nanoscience has been widely accepted in the field of medicine and pharmaceuticals due to its tremendous applications. Green synthesized silver nanoparticles are gaining high attention among the researchers due to various reasons one among those is the microbial resistance. Materials and Methods: Thus, the present study was aimed to produce green synthesized silver nanoparticles from the flower extract of Ixora coccinea and to test its antimicrobial activity against selected microorganisms. The synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles were confirmed through UV-spectral analysis, differential light scattering, and zeta potential analysis and agar disk diffusion method was carried out to confirm the antimicrobial activity of the silver nanoparticles. Results: UV-visible absorption spectra for the mixture were found to be 460 nm, particle size was found to 125 nm, and its zeta potential was ?17.4. Conclusion: The antimicrobial activity was found to be good with selected Gram-negative bacteria compared to other selected groups.
