The Nano Revolution, Metal Nanoparticles in Antibiotic-Resistant Era: Synthesis, Properties, and Antimicrobial Applications
Abstract
Nanoparticle synthesis has gained significant interest over the years because of its unique characteristics and sustainable and productive applications in numerous fields. Metals exhibiting a friend-foe relationship with bacteria, possess the potential to inhibit their growth in specific forms and concentrations. The increase in antimicrobial resistance in recent years has drawn attention. Top-down and Bottom-up are the two approaches to metal nanoparticle synthesis. Gold, silver, copper, etc. have been used in medical fields from ancient times. Although these conventional methods of creating nanoparticles are effective and adaptable, they have very negative effects. On the other hand, green synthesis provides an economical and environmentally beneficial substitute by using natural resources. To address the current problem of antimicrobial resistance, this review highlights the antimicrobial activity of metal nanoparticles and highlights their contributions to sustainability, safety and efficiency in nanoparticle production as well as their synthesis process, benefits, and drawbacks.
