Researchers at Presidency University Kolkata have reported new findings on the use of biofunctionalized silver nanoparticles for their antibacterial efficacy. The study aimed to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which poses a serious threat to public health globally. The researchers used Clerodendrum glandulosum leaf extract to produce silver nanoparticles, which exhibited antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities. The study concluded that biofunctionalization of phytoconstituents on nanosurfaces could enhance the antibacterial activity and biocompatibility of silver nanoparticles. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into alternative therapies for AMR. [Extracted from the article]
