In situ production of silver nanoparticle on cotton fabric and its antimicrobial evaluation (2011, background): “Therefore, they can attach to the surfaces of the bacterial cells and even penetrate them, leading to bacterial death [Melaiye et al. 2005; Feng et al. 2000; Matsumura et al. 2003).”
Silver nanoparticles: the powerful nanoweapon against multidrug‐resistant bacteria (2012, background): “In Japan, ceramics have silver zeolite coat, having bactericidal properties that protect the products, and are used in food preservation, disinfection of medical products and decontamination of materials (Kawahara et al. 2000; Matsumura et al. 2003).”
Antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized using turnip leaf extract (Brassica rapa L.) against wood rotting pathogens (2014, background): “It has been proposed that silver ions interact strongly with the thiol (-SH) group of membrane bound proteins or the lipid bilayer and that it destabilizes the membrane, causing ion leakage and cell rupture (Matsumura et al. 2003); however, the mechanism involved in the antimicrobial activity of sil”
Bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles against multidrug-resistant bacteria (2010, background): “…with advances in impregnation techniques and polymer technology to expand the range of applications of these nanoparticles in the preservation of food, disinfection of medical supplies and equipment, and decontamination of the surfaces of items such as toys and kitchenware (Matsumura et al. 2003).”
Characterization of silver nanoparticles synthesized using Urtica dioica Linn. leaves and their synergistic effects with antibiotics (2016, background): “It has also been proposed that the AgNPs can have a sustained release of silver ions once inside the bacterial cells (Feng et al., 2001), and these ions can interact with thiol groups present in enzymes such as NADH dehydrogenases and disrupt the respiratory chain (Matsumura et al., 2003).”
