Antimicrobial Studies

Enhanced bactericidal, antibiofilm and antioxidative response of Lawsonia inermis leaf extract synthesized ZnO NPs loaded with commercial antibiotic.

Li-ZnO NPs have strong antibacterial and radical scavenging effects. Conjugating with ciprofloxacin enhances antibacterial efficacy against drug-resistant bacteria, offering a sustainable treatment option. This research could lead to new, effective, and affordable antibiotics to combat global antibiotic resistance.
