    Microorganism are one of the most ancient species that are found on earth. Due to the change in environmental conditions, the microbial species tends to acclimatized themselves. Because of this acclimatization, many different strains have been evolved which are multidrug resistant as well. One of the main reason for transmission of bacterial species is frequent hand contact with different surfaces. As the transmission is increasing, the rate of prevalence of bacterial strain is also increasing. The aim of our study is to isolate the bacterial species from teaching areas of UMT Lahore and characterize them on the basis of staining, antimicrobial susceptibility through disc method and antibacterial activity through silver nanoparticles. This study clearly depicts that the bacterial species are more susceptible to tetracycline and streptomycin as compared to penicillin. After determining, the activity of antibiotics and silver nanoparticles it is clearly observed that bacterial isolates are more susceptible to silver nanoparticles as compared to antibiotics.
