Popis: The present study investigates the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NP) using Artemisia vulgaris tincture and their enhanced antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains. The Ag NP were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and XRD. Their antibacterial activity was also assessed against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes and Corynebacterium spp. The results demonstrated that the size of the inhibition zone increased with increase in Ag NP concentration. Additionally, the type of bacterial strain also had an effect on the size of the inhibition zones.
