Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have recently emerged as a potential treatment for diseases
caused by multidrug-resistant microorganisms. The high surface area-to-volume ratio of AgNPs
could deliver high performance as an antimicrobial agent. The current study investigated the
synthesis and antimicrobial properties of AgNPs fabricated using phytochemicals extracted from
Zanthoxylum piperitum leaves (Japanese pepper).
