The present study focused on the development of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from the leaf extract of Murraya koenigii where zinc nitrate acts as the precursor. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the crystalline structure, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed the morphology of the ZnO NPs to be spherical with an average size of 12 nm. Functional groups of the sample were identified by using Fourier transmission infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Their shape, structure and composition were assessed by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results depicted that synthesized ZnO NPs were moderately stable and hexagonal shape, spherical shape with maximum particle size less than 100 nm. The green-synthesized ZnO NPs had prominent activities against Staphylococcus aureus (14.0±0.50 mm) and followed by Bacillus subtilis (13.8±0.76 mm) at the concentration of 200 µg/mL.
