Implication

In vitro experiment demonstrates potent antibacterial activity of algal-derived silver nanoparticles against urinary pathogens, highlighting a bio-derived antimicrobial strategy.

Key Points

Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from Arthrospira platensis exhibit strong antibacterial efficacy against pathogens isolated from human urinary tract infections.
Inhibition zones reached 16 ± 0.2 mm against Enterococcus faecalis at 800 μg/mL, alongside activity against three other clinical bacterial strains.
Characterization using UV spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and electron microscopy showed spherical particles sized 15 to 100 nm with a zeta potential of −20 ± 3.2 mV.
Highlights a sustainable route for synthesizing silver nanoparticles, offering a potential baseline for future antimicrobial drug development; in vitro model.
