Full Abstract

Nanoparticles,especially silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), have revolutionized various fields like microbiology, biotechnology, pharmacy, and medicine owing to their distinct properties. This research delves into the significant potential of AgNPs in antimicrobial therapy, focusing on recent advancements in their delivery mechanisms, mechanisms of action, and antibacterial efficacy. The effective targeted delivery of AgNPs to specific body sites remains a challenge, leading to innovative approaches in nanotechnology. Nanogels, liposomes, and polymer-based nanoparticles have emerged as promising delivery systems, enhancing the stability, bioavailability, and controlled release of AgNPs. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs is rooted in their unique physicochemical properties, such as high surface area and reactivity. They disrupt bacterial cell membranes, increasing permeability, causing cell death, and interfering with intracellular components. Additionally, AgNPs have shown potential in inhibiting biofilm formation, a common defense mechanism of bacteria against antibiotics. Despite their promise, addressing issues related to cytotoxicity and refining delivery methods remains imperative. This review comprehensively addresses the challenges associated with the delivery of AgNPs, their cytotoxic effects, and their efficacy against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, highlighting their mechanism of action in bacterial eradication and biofilm inhibition.
