Unveiling the antibacterial potential of green-synthesized silver chloride and silver chromium nanoparticles from <i>Pelargonium graveolens</i> extract through molecular docking and bioactivity studies.

ABSTRACT: Green nanotechnology exhibits significant biomedical applications. In this study, green-synthesized silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) and silver chromium (AgCr) nanoparticles (NPs), using Pelargonium graveolens leaf extracts (PLE), were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The study examined the antimicrobial activities of PLE and NPs on various bacterial isolates. PLE was effective against Gram-positive bacteria, Ag/AgCl-NPs against resistance strains, AgCr-NPs had a MIC of 125 µg/mL, and MBC was reported against
