Effect of Java plum () leave extract and a silver nanoparticles synthesis on pathogens in skin diseases of dogs.

Background: Antibiotic use has been rising in both humans and animals. The growing concern over antimicrobial drug resistance and the promotion of regional drug use have led to a rise in the interest in medicinal applications of herbs combined with biosynthesized nanoparticles.

Aim: To evaluate the antimicrobial and acaricidal effects of leaves crude extract (Sc-CE) and biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (Sc-AgNPs) on dog skin pathogens and determined the optimal concentration and time for application.
