ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES AND ACTION AGAINST MICROBS

Abstract

Currently, treating infectious diseases caused by microorganisms resistant to antibiotics is a huge concern for the entire globe. Finding alternate methods to cure diseases caused by resistant infections are urgently needed. And the Well-known and effective antibacterial agents are silver nanoparticles. This summary includes a retrospective of earlier reviews that have been written as well as recent unique addition on the development of research on the antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles. The important subjects covered include bacterial resistance, cytoplasmic swelling (damage), Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) interaction, free radical production, release of Ag nanoparticles and Ag ions, and the link between resistance to Ag ions and resistance to AgNPs. The overview's main objective is to present a concise summary of the current idea of research on the antibacterial properties of AgNPs.
