Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have gained significant attention due to their eco-friendly synthesis and remarkable antibacterial properties. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized with a silver nitrate solution and bio-reducing agents extracted from neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves through a simple and cost-effective water bath treatment method. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The antibacterial activity of the AgNPs was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus using standard antimicrobial assays. The results demonstrated significant antibacterial efficiency. This eco-friendly approach provides a sustainable and green alternative for nanoparticle synthesis, reducing the hazardous environmental impact associated with conventional chemical methods

Keywords: Anti bacterial study, Plant extract, Silver Nano Particles
