Abstract The purpose of this project is to synthesize silver nanoparticles and to confirm their synthesis and shape with a UV spectrophotometer. These nanoparticles, along with amoxicillin and oregano oil, will then have their bacteria-inhibiting properties tested, in various mixtures, on Staphylococcus Epidermidis.
