Unveiling the antibacterial potential of green-synthesized silver chloride and silver chromium nanoparticles from Pelargonium graveolens extract through molecular docking and bioactivity studies

Abstract

The growth of antibiotic resistance poses a huge threat to global public health, prompting researchers to search for novel approaches to combat this rising issue. Nanotechnology, or the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, has emerged as a possible route for combating antibiotic resistance. The green-synthesized Ag/AgCl-NPs and AgCr-NPs demonstrated high antibacterial activities against several bacterial isolates. This study indicates that Ag/AgCl-NPs and AgCr-NPs can serve as a promising therapy to treat bacterial infections, especially those that are resistant to drugs.
