Application of phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles (SNPs) against Erwinia amylovora causing fire blight disease.

ABSTRACT: The bacterium Erwinia amylovora is responsible for the destructive disease known as fire blight in pear trees. This highly detrimental condition poses a significant threat to the health and vitality of these trees. The existing strategies for managing fire blight disease involve the regular use of copper compounds and streptomycin, particularly during periods when environmental factors are conducive to the spread of the infection. Silver nanoparticles, also known as SNPs, are tiny specks of silver ranging in size from 10 to 100 nm. These particles are created through various chemical and biological processes. Numerous studies have demonstrated their ability to exhibit antibacterial properties against a wide range of human and animal pathogens. In this investigation, the dimen
