Present investigation deals with the study, to quantify the antibacterial property of silver nanoparticles (SNPs), synthesized by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) in aqueous media, on some human enteropathogenic gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains. Antibacterial property was studied by measuring the zone of inhibition using agar cup double-diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration by serial dilution method, and growth curve for 24 h. The results clearly show the potency of antibacterial property of PLA-synthesized SNPs and suggest that it can be used as an effective growth inhibitor against various pathogenic bacterial strains in various medical devices and antibacterial control systems.
