Article Synopsis
  • Antibiotic resistance is a major global healthcare concern, prompting research into new and effective treatments, such as zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) created from Lawsonia inermis leaf extract.
  • The study characterized these Li-ZnO NPs and tested their antibacterial properties, finding they were most effective against Gram-positive bacteria like S. aureus and S. pyogenes, with high biofilm inhibition rates.
  • After conjugating ZnO NPs with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, the drug-loaded nanoparticles demonstrated improved antibacterial effects and drug release efficiency compared to non-drug-loaded versions, indicating a promising new approach to combat antibiotic resistance.
