Green synthesis of Saussurea costus-mediated silver nanoparticles: Characterization, antibacterial activity against ESBL-producing bacteria, and cytocompatibility
The rapid emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae has significantly limited the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics, highlighting the urgent need for alternative antimicrobial agents. In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were green synth...
