Abstract in brief

  • Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are a recent innovation in using silver for antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant purposes in agriculture and medicine.
  • Ag NPs effectively inhibit the growth of various bacteria and fungi by interacting with their biomolecules, leading to cell death through the generation of reactive oxygen species and rupture of cell walls.
  • The effectiveness and toxicity of Ag NPs are influenced by factors like size, concentration, pH, and duration of exposure, with smaller nanoparticles being more toxic than larger ones, and they're also used in food packaging to combat pathogens.
