Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the urgent need for effective antimicrobials due to rising antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and investigates the antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).
- AgNPs were found to exhibit strong antibacterial efficacy against various resistant bacterial strains, demonstrating bactericidal activity at low concentrations without causing harm to mammalian cells.
- The research also revealed that AgNPs could enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics, significantly reducing the required concentrations of aminoglycosides, while remaining non-toxic to human cells.
