Extracts	Bacteria	Zone of inhibition (in mm)
Extracts	Bacteria	By leaf extract	By AgNO₃	By AgNPs
Banana (leaf)	+ (Bacillus)	6 ± 0.02	9 ± 0.015	16 ± 0.016
Banana (leaf)	− (E. coli)	6 ± 0.005	9 ± 0.004	14 ± 0.02
Neem (leaf)	+	8 ± 0.013	9 ± 0.02	14 ± 0.008
Neem (leaf)	−	8 ± 0.015	9 ± 0.013	12 ± 0.007
Tulsi (leaf)	+	8 ± 0.02	9 ± 0.007	14 ± 0.021
Tulsi (leaf)	−	8 ± 0.02	9 ± 0.02	14 ± 0.017

Cultures were treated with crude leaf extracts,AgNO₃ and AgNPs. Results were expressed as Mean ± SD.
