Biogenic Preparation and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles from Seed Kernel of and Their Antibacterial Potential against spp.

Shigellosis is a serious foodborne diarrheal disease caused by the species. It is a critical global health issue. In developing countries, shigellosis causes most of the mortality in children below 5 years of age. Globally, around 165 million cases of diarrhea caused by are reported, which accounts for almost 1 million deaths, in which the majority are recorded in Third World nations. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using kernel (MK-AgNPs) seed extracts. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (MK-AgNPs) were characterized using an array of spectroscopic and microscopic tools, such as UV-Vis, scanning electron microscopy, particle size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometer. The nanoparticles were spherical in shape and the average size was found to be 42.7 nm. The MK-AgNPs exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant clinical sp. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of the MK-AgNPs was found to be 20 μg/mL against the multi-drug-resistant strain . The results clearly demonstrate that MK-AgNPs prepared using kernel seed extract exhibited significant bactericidal action against pathogenic species. The biosynthesized nanoparticles from mango kernel could possibly prove therapeutically useful and effective in combating the threat of shigellosis after careful investigation of its toxicity and in vivo efficacy.
