The effects of silver Nano particles on microorganisms: A review
Journal Title: Applied Science Reports - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are one of the most commonly used nanoparticles, most particularly serving as an antimicrobial agent for medical applications. Silver or silver ions have long been used in many areas due to their strong antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae. In this review, we have investigated different mode of action of silver nanoparticles on above mentioned creatures and also on some microorganisms cells which have been studied in different research projects in various regions of the world.
