BIOGENIC NANOSILVER AS A POTENTIAL ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ADDITIVE TO COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE DISH WASH AND HAND WASH FOR AN ENHANCED ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY AGAINST SELECTED PATHOGENIC STRAINS  

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 7

Abstract

In the present study, biogenic silver nanoparticles rapidly synthesized using leaf extract of Rosa indica – wichuriana hybrid Francois guillot were investigated for their potential use as a antibacterial and antifungal additive to commercially available dish wash and hand wash. UV–vis spectrophotometer, Powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, HrTEM and EDX analysis were used to characterize the synthesized silver nanoparticles. UV–vis spectrum analysis showed the surface plasmon peak at 427 nm. From high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HrTEM) analysis, the size of the silver nanoparticles was determined to be 15-25 nm. The synergy of biogenic silver nanoparticles and commercially available dish wash and hand wash showed enhanced antibacterial and antifungal activity against selected pathogenic strains Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei.
