Abstract
). This was associated with the synergistic combination of AgNP silver cores with the capping layer containing natural compounds with antimicrobial properties and considered an alternative to the AgNPs commonly obtained from conventional routes that present antibacterial effectiveness preferentially against Gram-negative strains.
