Sr. No. | MDR Bacterial Strains | Zone of Inhibition (mm) Means ± SD | |
---|---|---|---|
ZZAE-Ag-NPs | ZZEE-Ag-NPs | ||
1 | Enterococcus faecalis | 19.33 ± 0.57 | 19.83 ± 0.57 |
2 | Streptococcus mutans | 17.83 ± 0.57 | 18.83 ± 0.57 |
3 | S. aureus | 13.83 ± 0.57 | 14.66 ± 0.57 |
Note: Plant extracts (ZZAE and ZZEE) did not show antimicrobial activity against MDR pathogen strains. MDR multidrug-resistant, ZZAE-Ag-NPs = AgNPs synthesized using aqueous extract of Z. zerumbet, ZZEE-Ag-NPS = AgNPs synthesized using organic extract of Z. zerumbet, ZZAE = Z. zerumbet aqueous extract, ZZEE = Z. zerumbet ethanolic extract. (Sr.No = Serial Number and Means ± SD = Mean ± standard deviation).
