Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial effects

Antibacterial resistance is by far one of the greatest challenges to global health. Many pharmaceutical or material strategies have been explored overcome this dilemma. Of these, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known a non-specific antibacterial mechanism that renders it difficult engender silver-resistant bacteria, enabling them be more powerful agents than conventional antibiotics. AgNPs shown promising effects in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The aim review summarize green synthesis as agents, while other AgNPs-related insights (e.g., mechanisms, potential toxicity, medical applications) also reviewed.
