Silver Nanoparticles as Efficient Alternate Drug for Antibacterial Diseases

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be synthesized using physical, chemical and biological processes. The effect of temperature on the synthesis process, different characterization techniques which are used to analyze the produced silver nanoparticles and their applications of AGNP’s as antibacterial drugs are reviewed. Nowadays, we are facing the problems related to bacterial resistance of conventional antibiotics. The treatment of bacterial infections has become a major issue of concern. Due to the unprescribed and uncontrolled use of antibiotics, bacterial strains develop resistance against conventional antibacterial diseases. Antibacterial drugs also have adverse effects on healthy organs of body along with the infect part of body. To avoid this problem the concept of targeted delivery of drugs has been developed i.e. drug delivery concept. Therefore, the development of novel and potent antibacterial substances is required. Silver nanoparticles are potent and efficient for this purpose.
