Abstract

In this study, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNP) by plant mediated (Azadiracta indica) and chemical methods. The synthesized SNP were characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning  Electron microscopy(SEM) and Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy. The antibacterial effect of SNP  produced  by both the methods  was evaluated by growth inhibition study which showed strong antibacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains.
