Abstract: Aims: Simple, rapid production of silver nanoparticles by green synthesis using C.roseus leaf extract and evaluating its anti-microbial property against clinical pathogens. Methods: Characterisations were performed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FTIR spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and antimicrobial activity was determined against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Results: UV-Vis spectrum analysis ensured reduction of silver ions, forming silver nanoparticles. FTIR analysis showed presence of proteins, ester groups of chlorophyll. SEM images confirmed the almost spherical shape of the nanoparticles and the synthesized nanoparticles were found sensitive against the mentioned clinical pathogens. Conclusions: Silver nanoparticles prepared in this eco-friendly green synthesis method showed the significant antimicrobial activity against clinical pathogen.
