Application of Green Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized using Leaf Extract of Tridax procumbens for Preparation of Clinical Antimicrobial Bandages

Objectives: To green synthesize silver nanoparticles by using weed plant Tridax procumbens also prepare and check antimicrobial activity of impregnated bandages against one gram positive bacteria one-gram negative. Methods: The synthesis was done chemical precipitation method leaves extract as reducing agent. Synthesis are characterized UV-Visible spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Zeta potential analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) to confirm size distribution, composition crystalline nature nanoparticles. Results: peak shown at 446nm UV-Vis spectrophotometer reveals the spherical -shaped with a mean 99nm. proved that phytochemicals in were responsible for formation acted stabilizing XRD study have revealed highly These onto they showed appreciable inhibitory Escherichia coli (6mm) Staphylococcus aureus (2mm). Conclusion: characterization results characteristic synthesized Thus ecofriendly promising activity. antibacterial can potentially be used treating open infection-prone wounds.
