 Silver nanoparticles, AGNPs, have been used for centuries in various applications, including agriculture and medicine. Recent studies have demonstrated that these particles can be used to kill bacteria and fungi due to their ability to bind to biological molecules within the cells of the organism. This binding causes the organism to undergo apoptosis, resulting in its destruction. Additionally, AGNPs are small enough to penetrate cell walls and disrupt them, causing further damage to the organism. Furthermore, smaller particles are more effective at killing organisms than larger particles, since they are able to reach deeper into the cellular structure. Finally, AGNPs are used in packaging to protect food products from contamination by pathogenic microbes. This article was authored by Kharja Salahuddin Siddiqui, Azim al-Huzan, and Rifikat AKIO.
