In the study, leaf extract of Carica papaya was utilized for the biogenic fabrication process of chitosan functionalized silver nanoparticles (Ag-Chito NPs). HRTEM analysis revealed that the fabricated Ag-Chito NPs was spherical in shape, with an average particle size of 13.31 (±0.07) nm. FTIR, UV-Vis, DLS, and other characterizations were also performed to analyze the diverse physicochemical properties of the particles. The antibacterial potency of the synthesized Ag-Chito NPs was tested against the two clinically isolated multidrug resistant uropathogenic bacterial strains, i.e. MLD 2 (Escherichia coli) and MLD 4 (Staphylococcus aureus) through MIC, MBC, time and concentration dependent killing kinetic assay, inhibition of biofilm formation assay, fluorescence and SEM imaging. Significantly, Ag-Chito NPs showed the highest sensitivity against the MLD 2 (MIC value of 12.5 µg/mL) strain, as compared to the MLD 4 (MIC value of 15 µg/mL) strain. From the hemolysis assay, it was revealed that Ag-Chito NPs exerted no significant toxicity up to 50 µg/mL against healthy human blood cells. Additionally, in silico analysis of chitosan (functionalized on the surface of AgNPs) and bacterial cell membrane protein also evidently suggested a strong interaction between Ag-Chito NPs and bacterial cells, which might be responsible for bacterial cell death.
