Nanotechnology is gaining tremendous impetus in the present century due to its capability of modulating metals into their nanosize. Research in nanotechnology highlights the possibility of green chemistry pathways to produce technologically important nanomaterials. This report focuses on the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Solanum torvum and its antimicrobial activity. Characterization of newly synthesized silver nanoparticles was made using UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HR-TEM) studies. Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogen has emerged in recent years and is a major health problem. Solanum torvum mediated silver nanoparticles showed high antimicrobial activity against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Our results suggest that S. torvun mediated silver nanoparticles could act as an effective antimicrobial agent and prove as an alternative for the development of new antimicrobial agents to combat resistance problem.
