Abstract

The resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics is growing steadily. The development of new antibacterial agents is highly topical. Metal nanoparticles have shown significant antibacterial activity similar to the plant/animal materials used in traditional medicine. The study focuses on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) modified with biomolecules from used plant extracts (T. serpyllum, S. officinalis, T. pratense). The obtained nanoparticles were studied in detail by physicochemical methods. In addition, they were deposited on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). We created unique antibacterial material using 3D printing. 20-40% inhibition of S. aureus and E. coli was observed in the evaluation of their efficacy.
