Optimizing antimicrobial synergy: Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaves enhanced by patchouli oil.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from plant extracts have gained attention for their potential applications in biomedicine. has been utilized to synthesize AgNPs, called AgNPs-LCg, and exhibit antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as antifungal. However, further enhancement of their antimicrobial properties is needed.

Clinical and oral microbiome pattern of halitosis patients with periodontitis and gingivitis.

Halitosis is caused by a bacterial proteolytic process that induces the production of volatile sulfur compounds, odor-causing gases. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical oral hygiene state and oral microbiome pattern of halitosis patients with periodontitis and gingivitis. The oral hygiene state of halitosis patients with periodontitis and gingivitis was assessed using the oral hygiene index simplified (OHI-S), decay missing filled teeth (DMFT), and tongue biofilm.

Green Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Silver Nanoparticles Using from Ie Seu-Um Geothermal Area, Aceh Province, Indonesia.

Herein, we report our success synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous extracts from the leaves and flowers of growing in the geothermal manifestation Ie Seu-Um, Aceh Besar, Indonesia. aqueous extract can be used as a bio-reductant for Ag→Ag conversion, obtained by 48h incubation of Ag, and the extract mixture in a dark condition. UV-Vis characterization showed that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks of AgNPs-leaf (AgNPs-LCg) and AgNPs-flower (AgNPs-FCg) appeared in the wavelength range of 410-460 nm.
