Membranes of older water filters, contain plethora of bacteria, which are difficult to be limited as they are known to form bacterial biofilms. In this regard, plant based nanoparticles, are reported to be effective, as antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. In the present study, leaf extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles and its efficacy as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent was studied. Biofilm inhibition assay using the extract was found to be8 2% and the Minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was found to be 62.5µgm, against the bacterial samples collected from the membrane filters. This study clearly suggests that leaf extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus when processed as silver nanoparticles, can be more efficient as antimicrobial and antibiofilm agents. This study clearly illustrates the antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of Artocarpus heterophyllus and may therefore be suggested as an ecofriendly and cost effective cleansing agent for the water filters.
