Sustainable, scalable nanotechnology approach using filtrate from <i>Raphanus sativus</i> in combating multidrug-resistant pathogens and causing neglected tropical diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) provides a more eco-friendly approach over the conventional chemical procedures. In this study, a fast and sustainable methodology for the production of high-density AgNPs utilizing the aqueous root filtrate of Raphanus sativus is presented.

Methods

AgNPs were prepared under room temperature conditions by optimizing the concentrations of NaOH, R. sativus filtrate, and AgNO₃. UV-Vis spectroscopy was employed for characterizing AgNPs. Antibacterial properties and mechanisms of action were assessed against multi-drug resistant, gram negative Escherichia coli KCCM 11234, and gram positive Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 11335.

Results

Optimally formed monodispersed AgNPs were synthesized using 0.1 mL of 1 M solut
