Antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized from novel Streptomyces species

Abstract

In this paper we report the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized from novel strain of Streptomyces sp. The novel silver nanoparticles exhibited a tremendous potential antibacterial activity against the multi drug resistant gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains. The zone of inhibiton seems extremely good showing a relatively large zone of inhibition in both gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized from Streptomyces sp.
