Abstract
The biosynthesized metal nanoparticles provide an expanding research area due to the potential application for
the development of novel technologies. We have reported a fast, extracellular and convenient method for the
synthesis of metallic gold nanoparticles by reducing the aqueous HAuCl4 with the help of Bacopa monniera
plant extract. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by using UV-Vis. spectrophotometer,
Transmission electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer. The bactericidal
property of nanoparticles was evaluated. The biologically synthesized nanoparticles were found to be highly
effective against different multidrug resistant human pathogens such as E.Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus
subtilis and Enterococcus.
