The objective of this study was to develop a straightforward biological synthesis of silver oxide nanoparticles (Ag₂O NPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Viscum orientale Willd and Coleus amboinicus Lour as a good lowering and capping agent . The UV–visible bands observed at 499 and 451 nm was confirmed the creation of nanosized Ag₂O particles making use of Viscum orientale Willd and Coleus amboinicus Lour plants. The formation of Ag₂O stretching frequency was confirmed by FTIR spectral studies. Scanning electron microscopy and EDAX analysis displayed Ag₂O nanoparticles have been pure and spherical shaped and had been the variety of length from 35±2 nm for (Ag₂O NPs) by the usage of Viscum orientale Willd and 32±2 nm for (Ag₂O NPs) Coleus amboinicus Lour vice-versa. The fashioned nanoparticles have been cubic in association and face-centered cubic in form, consistent with X-ray diffraction studies. The shaped green kind Ag₂O NPs confirmed ambitious antibacterial against each gram possitive and gram negative bacteria.
