Title: Implementation of silver nanoparticles green synthesized with leaf extract of Coccinia grandisas antimicrobial agents against head and neck infection MDR

Abstract

Background: Head and neck infections (HNI) associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) offer severalhealth issues on a global scale due to inaccurate diagnosis.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the bacteria and Candidal isolates and implement the silver nanoparticles green synthesized with leaf extract of Coccinia grandis (Cg-AgNPs) as a therapeutic approach against HNI pathogens.
Methods: The Cg-AgNP were characterized by the UV-visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR analysis, Zeta particle size, Zeta potential, and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) analysis to validate the synthesis of nanoparticles. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of Cg-AgNP was presented by the zone of inhibition (ZOI), minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC), and antibiofilm assay. Moreover, the cell wall rupture assay was visualized on SEM for the morphological study of antimicrobial activities, and the in-vivo toxicity was performed to evaluate the impact of Cg-AgNPs on various biological parameters.
Results: Different bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Candida sp. (Candidaalbicans, Candida tropicalis, Candidaorthopsilosis, and Candida glabrata) 85.01±5.19% respectively. However, C. albicans and C. orthopsilosisrevealed 23mm and 21mm of ZOI. Subsequently, the were identified. The MIC, MBC, and anti-biofilm potential of Cg-AgNPswerefound to be highest against A. baumannii;1.25 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml, and micromorphology of the cell wall rupture assay has confirmed the efficacy of Cg-AgNPswith no significant alteration in biological parameters.
Conclusion: The green synthesized Cg-AgNPs have multifunctional activities like antibacterial, anticandidal, and antibiofilm activity with no toxicity and can be introduced against the HNI pathogens.
