Given the urgent need for novel methods to control the spread of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, this study presents a green synthesis approach to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the bark extract from (Vell.) Brenan var. colubrina.

We examined 45 isolates of both genotypically and phenotypically by studying their adherence to HeLa cells, biofilm formation, cytotoxicity and antimicrobial resistance, and analysed their genomes for putative virulence and resistance genes. This study found that most isolates possessed multiple virulence genes, including A, A, A, A, A and A, and were cytotoxic to Vero cells.
