The absence of novel, safe, and effective bactericide is an urgent concern worldwide and
remains a challenge in scientific communities. The unique proprieties of silver nanoparticles (SNPs)
synthesized from plant extracts make them a suitable candidate to overcome these limitations. Herein,
we synthesized SNPs from Bersama engleriana fruit (BEfr) extracts and determined their potential
antibacterial activity and mode of action. SNPs were synthesized from BEfr methanolic fruit extracts
at 25 and 70 C, and the antibacterial effectiveness of SNPs against bacterial strains was investigated.
The surface plasmon resonance peaked at 430.18 and 434.08 nm, respectively, for SNPs synthesized at
25 and 70 C, confirming SNPs synthesis.
