Abstract

Aqueous extract has the potency to combat drug-resistant bacteria but comparatively, ZnO NPs synthesized from the same plant were found to be more effective against resistant pathogenic strains. It is concluded from the above study that phyto-fabricated ZnO NPs have strong potential as theranostic agents and can be adopted in drug delivery systems.
