Green-synthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Cymbopogon citratus: Synergistic Antibacterial Effects and Food Safety Potential

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Himabindu Kurra, Aditya Velidandi, Mounika Sarvepalli and Vikram Godishala This study investigates the antibacterial properties and stability of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Cymbopogon citratus extract, with a focus on their synergistic effects with conventional antibiotics (Abs) and potential applications in food safety. The AgNPs were evaluated against nine bacterial strains, both alone and in combination with standard Abs (ampicillin (Amp), chloramphenicol (Chl), kanamycin (Km), and penicillin (Pen)) using the agar well diffusion method.
