Abstract
Silver nanoparticles are used in every single aspect of science including medical and pharmaceuticals, as they have high antimicrobial effects because of their large surface area to volume ratio, which is the curiosity of new researchers on antibiotics, the growing microbial resistance and the development of resistant strains. Silver nanoparticles are the superabundant antimicrobial agent for bacteria, fungi, algae and are less noxious to human cells than bacterial cells. Silver nanoparticles are used to control germination in a variety of applications, such as antibacterial coating for medicinal materials to promote wound healing and prevent infection, and antibacterial vaccines to control bacterial diseases. In the current work, a review of the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles is compiled in tabular form reported by different research groups. The aim of this review is to discuss the present state of affairs and suggestions for future possibilities in this field.
