Green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Psidium guajava L. leaf extract and antibacterial activity against some pathogenic microorganisms

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was attempted using leaf extract of Psidium guajava L. belonging to
the family Myrtaceae and its synergistic antimicrobial activity with six commercial antibiotics against Gram positive (S. aureus, L. monocytogens,
S. epidermidis) Gram negative (E.coli, S. typhi, E. aerogenes) bacteria was evaluated. The characterization of synthesized AgNPs was done

by UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and zeta potential.
