摘要：INTRODUCTION: Piper longum is utilized as a significant traditional medication in Asia and the Pacific islands. It belongs to the family Pipperaceace. Piper longum has been accounted for as a decent solution for treating tuberculosis and respiratory tract diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Purchased Piper longum fruit is washed, dried, and powdered into small granules. Separately, 0.5 g of Piper longum powder is measured and taken. Antibacterial action of the nanoparticles against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus, and E. coli strains. Antibacterial action of the nanoparticles against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus, and E. coli strains. The agar well diffusion assay uses Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger as research pathogens. RESULTS: In our study, S. mutants show a zone of inhibition of 9mm in 25µL , 14mm in 50µL and 25mm in 100µL. S. aureus shows a zone of inhibition of 13mm in 25µL, 16mm in 50µL, 12mm in 100µL. C.albicans shows a zone of inhibition of 15mm in 25µL, 17mm in 50µL and 8mm in 100µL. E. faecalis shows a zone of inhibition of 10mm in 25µL, 13mm in 50µL and 25mm in 100µL. In the present study, we conducted antimicrobial activity of piper longum zinc oxide nanoparticles and the results describes the antimicrobial activity against the species- S. mutants, S. aureus, C. albicans, E. faecalis. CONCLUSION: Piper longum mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles exhibit anti microbial activity. In the future it plays an important role in the antimicrobial drugs production.
