dc.description.abstractThe decrease in the effectiveness of conventional drugs as a result of the growth of resistance to antibiotics has increased the need for innovative tools to control the infections. At this point, metallic nanoparticles, in particular silver nanoparticles, have appeared as a promising method. In the current study, the extract of Rumex sp. (Labada, dock) leaves was used as a reducing agent for the formation of silver nanoparticles. Unlike similar studies, in this study the synthesis conditions were optimized by changing the extract ratio and silver nitrate concentration. Morphological investigations of synthesized silver nanoparticles showed that spherical homogeneous particles at size under 100 nm had been produced. SEM/EDS and FTIR analyses showed that plant components are involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles. It was also determined that higher extract ratio reduced nanoparticle size. The antimicrobial effects of the synthesized nanoparticles against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were tested, and it was determined that all nanoparticles exhibited activity against both groups. Rumex sp. silver nanoparticles (NPs) were revealed to exhibit antibiofilm activity against three different isolates with moderate and strong biofilm-forming ability. The NPs reduced the biofilm-forming capacity of Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonaie by 2.66-fold and 3.25-fold, whereas they decreased the Escherichia coli biofilm-forming capacity by 1.25-fold. The investigation of microbial biofilm could play an important role in developing new strategies for treatment options. Our results suggest that Rumex sp. silver NPs may have a high potential for use in the treatment of pathogenic strains.
