- <p><em><span>Green synthesis of noble metal nanoparticles has recently received a lot of attention because of the vast range of novel uses in numerous industries. Silver nanoparticles, in particular, are gaining popularity in medicinal applications as very efficient antibacterial agents with minimal hazardous side effects. The current study describes an environmentally acceptable strategy for combating bacterial infections using multi-potency silver nanoparticles synthesized from shrimp shell bio-waste. The bio-fabricated chitosan silver nanoparticles (Cs-AgNPs) were validated by UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and zeta potential analysis. The SEM analyses revealed that the produced Cs-AgNPs were predominantly spherical in shape. Chitosan and Cs-AgNPs at low dosages demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens such as E.coli, Klebsiella sp, Pseudamonas sp, and Streptococci sp. The antibacterial investigations revealed that Cs-AgNP inhibited the investigated bacterial pathogens significantly. Overall, this work demonstrates that chitosan derived from shrimp shell wastes has the potential to be exploited in the management of bacterial infections.</span></em></p>
