Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Pseudoduganella eburnea MAHUQ-39 and Their Antimicrobial Mechanisms Investigation against Drug Resistant Human Pathogens.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have shown great promise in biomedical applications. The exact mechanism and mode of action of AgNPs regarding antimicrobial activity are still not well known. Moreover, synthesis of nanoparticles by physical and chemical methods is expensive and not ecofriendly. This study highlights the green, rapid, facile, cost-effective and ecofriendly synthesis of AgNPs using Pseudoduganella eburnea MAHUQ-39 and also investigates their antibacterial mechanisms. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image revealed a spherical shape of the AgNPs. The size of the synthesized AgNPs was 8 to 24 nm. The elemental mapping and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the crystalline structure of AgNPs. Fourier-transform i
