ABSTRACT

The use of medicinal plant extract in the manufacture of metal oxide nanoparticles is a viable alternative to the traditional chemical technique. This study used a green technique to synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles from Acalypha fruticosa forssk leaf extract, which is an endemic medicinal plant growing in home gardens across India. UV-DRS, FTIR, SEM with EDAX, and IR are some of the techniques used. The antibacterial efficacy of the produced ZnO nanoparticles was further tested against clinical and standard strains of E. coli, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa.
