Abstract

In the present study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were synthesized using a eco-friendly technique and evaluated their antibacterial activity. At the first time, Brassica tournefortii leaves extract mediated copper oxide-based nanoparticles which prepared by a bio-reduction method using an aqueous Brassica tournefortii leaves extract as both a reducing and stabilizing agent. Copper oxide nanoparticles were characterized by using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. The synthesized CuO nanoparticles were also evaluated for their antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacterial strains. UV-Vis and FT-IR
