Biosynthesis of Smaller-Sized Platinum Nanoparticles Using the Leaf Extract of <i>Combretum erythrophyllum</i> and Its Antibacterial Activities

Nanobiotechnology is a promising field in the development of safe antibiotics to combat the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance. Nature is a vast reservoir for green materials used in the synthesis of non-toxic and environmentally friendly nano-antibiotics. We present for the first time a faci...

Biosynthesis of Smaller-Sized Platinum Nanoparticles Using the Leaf Extract of <i>Combretum erythrophyllum</i> and Its Antibacterial Activities
description Nanobiotechnology is a promising field in the development of safe antibiotics to combat the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance. Nature is a vast reservoir for green materials used in the synthesis of non-toxic and environmentally friendly nano-antibiotics. We present for the first time a facile, green, cost-effective, plant-mediated synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) using the extract of <i>Combretum erythrophyllum</i> (CE) plant leaves. The extract of CE served as both a bio-reductant and a stabilizing agent. The as-synthesized PtNPs were characterized using ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. The HR-TEM image confirmed that the PtNPs are ultrasmall, spherical, and well dispersed with an average particle diameter of 1.04 ± 0.26 nm. The PtNPs showed strong antibacterial activities against pathogenic Gram-positive <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> (ATCC 14990) at a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.125 µg/mL and Gram-negative <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i> (ATCC 8724) and <i>Klebsiella aerogenes</i> (ATCC 27853) at an MIC value of 1.56 µg/mL.
