Salicylic Acid-Mediated Silver Nanoparticle Green Synthesis: Characterization, Enhanced Antimicrobial, and Antibiofilm Efficacy.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via an easy and rapid biogenic synthesis approach, utilizing the dual capabilities of salicylic acid as both a reducing and capping agent. Methods: The characterization of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Silver Nanoparticle (SA-AgNPs) was conducted using a variety of techniques, including ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as thermogravimetric analysis paired with differential scanning calorimetry. Results: SA-AgNPs demonstrated significant antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive (methicillin-resistant <
