|
Nanoparticles have been intensively studied in the recent years due to their physical, chemical, electronic, electrical, mechanical, magnetic, thermal, dielectric, optical and biological properties. The bactericidal effect of metal nanoparticles has been attributed to their small size and high surface to volume ratio, which allows them to interact closely with microbial membranes and is not merely due to the release of metal ions in solution. In this report, we used the extract of dried ginger to synthesize copper nanoparticles and were characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometer, were also tested for their antimicrobial activity. These biosynthesized copper nanoparticles exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens namely, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus aureus, Lactobacillus and Candida albicans and can be developed as a novel medicine against pathogenic diseases. Copper nanoparticles were synthesized from dried ginger and they are characterised by uv-vis spectroscopy and their special study showed the potent antimicrobial activity against common oral pathogens.
