Biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNPs) is one of the most fascinating nanomaterials used for several biomedical purposes. In the current study, we biosynthesized AgNPs (bio-AgNPs) using Arthrospira platensis (A-bio-AgNPs), Microcystis aeruginosa (M-bio-AgNPs), and Chlorella vulgaris (C-bio-AgNPs) active metabolites and evaluated their anticancer efficacy against breast cancer. The recovered bio-AgNPs were characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM).

Bacterial infections are the key cause of death in patients suffering from burns and diabetic wounds while the use of traditional antibiotics has been growing steadily. Thus, in the present study, we are trying to introduce a paradigm shift strategy to improve chronic wound healing of bacterial infection. To that end, we have biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using polysaccharides, and evaluated their antibacterial efficacy with their safety pattern.
