Abstract
The antibacterial potential of extract and silver nanoparticle synthesized from the extracts from Adiantum capillus -veneris (L) was screened against six bacteria using the disk diffusion method. The maximum activity of zone of inhibition was active against Staphylococcus aureus. The synthesis of nanoparticle was observed that the antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria more than the aqueous extract of A. capillus -veneris.
