In the present study, bio-meditated silver nanoparticles have been synthesized using Jasminum auriculatum stem extracts. The silver nanoparticles were confirmed using UV-visible and FT-IR spectra. The size and morphology of silver nanoparticles were confirmed using XRD, SEM and EDAX techniques. The antibacterial activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles was assessed by disc diffusion method against human pathogens. The antibacterial studies indicate that green synthesized silver nanoparticles have several pharmaceutical applications for the management of deadly human pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
