Abstract

Nanomaterials are mostly hazardous due to their small size and increased surface activity, which makes it very easy for them to penetrate and enter biological systems. Therefore, the primary goal of the study is the eco-friendly synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using Basella alba stem extract. Basella alba is considered as a useful medicinal plant, and it tends to have some titanium nanoparticles within them. The agar well plate diffusion method and time kill curve assays were studied to evaluate the antimicrobial activity. As a result, the titanium dioxide tends to have less antimicrobial activity, where there is no zone of inhibitions and considered to be less effective. But in the time-kill kinetics analysis, the prepared nanoparticles showed mild bacteriostatic and bacteriostatic activity. To conclude titanium dioxide comparatively shows less activity in wound pathogen control. So, the future prospect of this study is comparatively less.
