Periodontitis, as one of the most common diseases on a global scale, is a public health concern. Microbial resistance to currently available antimicrobial agents is becoming a growing issue in periodontal treatment. As a result, it is critical to develop effective and environmentally friendly biomedical approaches to overcome such challenges.

Because of their potential applications in therapeutic applications, biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (Bio-AgNPs) have gained much attention in recent years. Cell-free extracts (CFE) from a marine culture of actinobacteria and silver nitrate were used to reduce Ag ions and create Bio-AgNPs.

- The study investigates the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of essential oils from safflower plants grown with and without 50 mM NaCl, noting that salt stress negatively impacts plant growth.
- Essential oil yields are higher in the roots compared to leaves and stems, with salt treatment reducing yields in roots and leaves but having no effect on stems.
- The essential oils displayed low antioxidant activity and varied antimicrobial effects, effectively inhibiting only a couple of fungal strains while demonstrating significant antibacterial activity against certain bacteria, independent of salt treatment.
