Aim: The aim of this study is the synthesis of nanosilver particles
(AgNPs) from Pelargonium quercetorum Agnew. (Geraniaceae) and evaluation
of the antimicrobial and the cytotoxic potential of AgNPs. Methods: The synthesized AgNPs were evaluated for antimicrobial and
anticancer efficacy using the minimum inhibition concentration method and MTT
(3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Results: The AgNPs inhibited approximately 90% the growth of
gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Esherichia
coli and yeast Candida albicans pathogens at a concentration of 500
