Formulation of Garlic Essential Oil-assisted Silver Nanoparticles and Mechanistic Evaluation of their Antimicrobial Activity against a Spectrum of Pathogenic Microorganisms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The synthesis of nanoparticles using the principle of green chemistry has achieved huge potential in nanomedicine. Here, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag- NPs) employing garlic essential oil (GEO) due to wide applications of GEO in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry.

Objective

This study aimed to synthesise garlic essential oil-assisted silver nanoparticles and present their antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities with mechanistic assessment.

Method

Initially, the formulation of AgNPs was confirmed using different optical techniques, such as XRD, FT-IR, DLS, zeta potential, SEM, and EDX analysis, which confirmed the formulation of well-dispersed, stable, and spherical AgNPs. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of GEO-assis
