  In present study, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) synthesized by quick and eco-friendly phytogenicreduction of copper salt (copper sulphate CuSO4.H2O) solution with Pterocarpus marsupium extract. UV-VIS spectrometry indicated formation of nanoparticles via absorption spectra of copper colloidal solution at 442 nm. Phytosynthesis of CuONPs were further characterized by Transmission electron microscopy; scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results showed that diameter of CuONPs in colloidal solution were < 40 nm. Further, antibacterial activities of CuONPs were determined against Gram negative Escherichia coli- MTCC-9721, Proteus vulgaris- MTCC-7299, Klebsiella pneumonia- MTCC-9751 and Gram positive i.e. Staphylococcus aureus- MTCC-9442, Staphylococcus. epidermidis- MTCC- 2639, Bacillus cereus- MTC..
