Characterization and Antibacterial Potential of Tithonia diversifolia Extract and Its Iron II ..

Several plants have shown promise in the eradication of human pathogens around the world. The aim of this study was to characterise the compounds in Tithonia diversifolia essential oils and iron II nanoparticles and determine their antibacterial efficacy. The experiment was conducted on kilo bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) Gram-positive bacteria, as well as gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). To assess the functional groups present in the compounds, UV-VIS and FTIR were used to characterise them. Beer Lambert used the disc diffusion method to evaluate antibacterial activity. The findings showed that the crude extract was only effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of 0.1 percent v/v, while the complexed sample was significantly effective against all microbes tested at the same concentration. proportional concentration Since the findings were comparable to the positive controls, the plant extract was found to be successful against human disease-causing microbes and is recommended for use against them.
