  "abstract": "Multi-resistant bacteria represent a significant public health threat, due to their resistance to many antibiotics and their biofilm formation capacity, which are difficult to treat and often lead to prolonged illness. Silver nanoparticles are promising antimicrobial agents, penetrating biofilms and serving as potential antimicrobial agents against multi-drug resistant bacteria. This study focuses on optimizing the silver nanoparticle synthesis based on the extract of Lavandula mairei. The effects of silver nitrate concentration, extract volume, reaction time and temperature were investigated. In addition, the nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, Xray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic light analysis. The synthesized nanoparticles were subsequently evaluated for inhibiting and eradicating biofilms formed by multi-resistant strains including Acinetobacter baumannii and ESBLproducing and non-ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized,",
