Anti-Bacterial Effect of Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles using Capsicum Annuum L

Abstract

"Medicinal plants are the sources of medicine. To determine the anti-bacterial effect of synthesized silver nanoparticles using Capsicum on Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of different concentration extracts of Capsicum annuum (red bell pepper, green bell pepper and yellow bell pepper). The extract from Capsicum showed a higher antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae followed by Staphylococcus aureus. The extract had higher percentages of inhibition with increased concentration of red and yellow bell pepper."
