Antibiotic resistance is considered as one of the greatest health threats worldwide, and we
are in a staring competition with microbes as antibiotic resistance mounts faster than our …

Silver nanoparticles constitute a very promising approach for the development of new
antimicrobial systems. Nanoparticulate objects can bring significant improvements in the …

SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for several million deaths to date globally, and both fomite
transmission from surfaces as well as airborne transmission from aerosols may be largely …

In this study, we describe the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs)
of different sizes and evaluated their antibacterial activity. Particles size and morphology …

In the face of the growing global water crisis, membrane technology is a promising means of
purifying water and wastewater. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used to …

Antimicrobial materials with immobilized/entrapped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are of
considerable interest. There is significant debate on the mode of bactericidal action of …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are widely utilized in increasing number of medical and
consumer products due to their antibacterial properties. Once released to aquatic system …

Abstract Silver, ZnO and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used as biocides. There
is however increasing evidence of their threat to “non-target” organisms. In such a context …

The so-called “Trojan-horse” mechanism, in which nanoparticles are internalized within cells
and then release high levels of toxic ions, has been proposed as a behavior in the cellular …

Silver is considered as antibacterial agent with well-known mode of action and bacterial
resistance against it is well described. The development of nanotechnology provided …
