Antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles.

Posted by CH.L.R.Jaidev on September 22, 2009 at 9:54am in NanoResearch

Dear members,I saw many articles in newspapers and in net regarding the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are the fascinating things today. How can the silver nanoparticles inhibit or kill the bacteria or virus or even fungi. What is the actual thing that lies behind to work silver nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents. I hope i will get sufficient discussions over this topic.

There is a rich literature on the topic of anti-microbial properties of silver nanoparticles.

One randomly chosen paper is the following paper:

Silver or silver nanoparticles: a hazardous threat to the environment and human health?
