Highlights

  • Introduction:Since from ancient ages living beings are affected by infinite number and types of microbes, which include fungi, nematodes, bacteria, virus etc.1Bacterium are ubiquitous organisms present in everywhere in living environment

  • Due to the increase in antibiotic resistance it is very difficult to treat such bacteria and this can lead to hazardous health issues

  • Staphylococcus aureus is one of them which shows makeable resistence towards methicillin. 10Many researchers are focusing on other alternative methods to overcome this problem

Summary

Introduction

Since from ancient ages living beings are affected by infinite number and types of microbes, which include fungi, nematodes, bacteria, virus etc.1Bacterium are ubiquitous organisms present in everywhere in living environment.These bacteria causes serious health issues including infections on skin, respiratory tract, malfunctioning of body organ systems and other chronic and fatal diseases. 2-5 One of the pathogenic bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus causing infection in human body, such as boils, folliculitis, impetigo, and cellulitis.[6,7,8,9] Due to the increase in antibiotic resistance it is very difficult to treat such bacteria and this can lead to hazardous health issues.Staphylococcus aureus is one of them which shows makeable resistence towards methicillin. 10Many researchers are focusing on other alternative methods to overcome this problem. Since from ancient ages living beings are affected by infinite number and types of microbes, which include fungi, nematodes, bacteria, virus etc.1Bacterium are ubiquitous organisms present in everywhere in living environment. These bacteria causes serious health issues including infections on skin, respiratory tract, malfunctioning of body organ systems and other chronic and fatal diseases. 2-5 One of the pathogenic bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus causing infection in human body, such as boils, folliculitis, impetigo, and cellulitis.[6,7,8,9] Due to the increase in antibiotic resistance it is very difficult to treat such bacteria and this can lead to hazardous health issues. Due to antimicrobial affinity of silver nanoparticles, it has so many commercial applications too like manufacturing of washing machines, air conditioners and refrigerators which use linings of silver nanoparticles.[20,21,22,23,24]
