Abstract:
In this present study, biofabrication and characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and their application on human pathogenic bacteria and fungus were investigated. The AuNPs was prepared by the method of green synthesis using the extract of P. amboinicus. The formation and characterization of AuNPs were confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The AuNPs were challenged against certain pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains. In antimicrobial activity, the AuNPs was most effective against Salmonella typhimurium while smaller effect was noticed from Micrococcus luteus.
