Abstract

Nanoparticle applications are growing due to the unique properties that nanoparticles possess, which have gained the attention of researchers, and one of these applications is the use of inhibiting antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The current work aims to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles from the fruits of the okra plant Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench and test their antibacterial activity alone or in combination with some antibiotics. The creation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by altering the color of the mixture from light green to dark brown, in addition to employing spectroscopic methods to prove and explain the production of these particles, such as UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, and EDX. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the shape and sizes of the particles created in the current study. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were tested alone or in combination with some antibiotics for their ability to inhibit four species of antibiotic-resistant MDR bacteria, three of which were Gram-negative and the fourth was Gram-positive bacteria. The results demonstrated that these bacteria were inhibited when using nanoparticles at all concentrations alone or in combination with antibiotics. AgNPs were found to be more effective against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, Staphylococcus auricularis (8F) was the most sensitive bacteria at all concentrations, while Escherichia coli (3R) was the most resistant. The results of the combination of AgNPs with some antibiotics revealed that the best synergy was recorded when AgNPs mixed with Amoxicillin clavulanate against all species of Gram-negative bacteria, followed by ciprofloxacin, Ampicillin, and Fosfomycin.
