Dry Gongronema latifolium aqueous extract mediated silver nanoparticles by one-step in-situ biosynthesis for antibacterial activities

In-situ biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles for antibacterial activities doped with aqueous extract of dry Gongronema Latifolium (DGL) is presented in this work. The absorbance was determined using a UV-Visible analysis with a peak of 428 nm. The obtained particles confirmed by the TEM image analysis were spherical in shape with an average particle size between 5 and 20 nm. A single crystalline phase of FCC was confirmed by the powder. The functional groups showed the phytochemical inherent in the sample. The colloidal solution of DGL-AgNPs with MIC of 10 mu g/ml showed a noteworthy functional susceptibility against the bacterial strains, particularly, K. pneumonia with susceptibility greater than gentamicin. Based on these observations, the formulated DGL-AgNPs show strong bactericidal against the pathogens with facile, benign, eco-friendly, biocompatibility and innocuous synthesis procedures. This can serve as an efficient bactericidal agent.

Automated summary

In this study, silver nanoparticles doped with aqueous extract of dry Gongronema Latifolium (DGL) were successfully synthesized in-situ, showing significant functional susceptibility against bacterial strains, especially surpassing gentamicin for certain strains. The formulated DGL-AgNPs exhibit strong bactericidal properties with facile, benign, eco-friendly, biocompatible, and innocuous synthesis procedures.
