Enhancement of antibacterial activity through phyto‐fabrication of silver nanoparticles with Ficus thonningii aqueous extracts
Abstract The World Health Organisation reports higher levels of bacterial resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenems of above 54%. The sufficient redox capabilities of Ficus thonningii phytochemicals for Ag+ reduction to Ag0 and ultimately aggregation to nucleation are exploited for the first time...
