Bacterial resistance to a wide spectrum of antimicrobial medicines has evolved as a major public health concern. Antibiotics are medications that are used to kill microorganisms that could cause serious illness or death. Nanotechnology has exploded as a significant and appealing field of research, with innovative features and functionalities in a variety of fields. Silver is a versatile antibacterial and anticancer medicinal agent in the form of nanoparticles. Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been implicated in a wide variety of medicinal benefits. This review article addresses antibacterial applications of biosynthesized AgNPsthat have been researched over the last decade. AgNPs' antimicrobial potential against a variety of bacterial agents is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
