Evaluation of antibacterial activity from phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles against medical devices infected with Staphylococcus spp.

Abstract

This study suggested that phytosynthesized AgNPs capped with various biomolecules present in leaf extracts of <i>B. asiatica</i> coated on glass surface prevent <i>S. epidermidis</i> and <i>S. aureus</i> associated infections of medical devices. Thus, coating of phytosynthesized AgNPs on glass surfaces may provide efficient antibacterial treatment of infected medical devices.
