  Abstract: Green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using medical plant extracts as capping and reducing agents demonstrate broad applicability in addressing the threat posed by infections. In this study, we present a sustainable, low-toxicity, and cost-effective bacterial nanocellulose composite with silver nanoparticles based on green synthesis that uses Origanum vulgare as a reducing agent due to numerous biological components. The formation of AgNPs in composite and morphological properties was analyzed using scanning …
