Abstract
Present paper deals with the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using leaf extract of Aristolochia elegans and study of antibacterial property for some human bacterial pathogens. The ZnONPs synthesized were characterized using UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, TEM and SEM techniques. The synthesized ZnONP having a crystallite size of 20.1 nm exhibited a distinct absorption peak maxima at 358 nm. The ZnONPs synthesized using the extract of A. elegans have shown antibacterial activity against M. luteus, S. aureus (Gram-positive), E. coli and P. aeruginosa (Gram-negative).
