Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of solutions based on silver nanoparticles and Aloe vera gel on some pathogenic and facultative pathogenic strains. In order to highlight the bactericidal properties of these products, measurements of the inhibition zone diameter were performed for each tested strain. The results showed that the most effective antimicrobial effect is in the case of the combination between biosynthesized silver nanoparticles solution and Aloe vera gel, having the diameter of action of 15 mm on the Staphylococcus aureus strain.
