Synthesis and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles with different sizes (2008, background): “The antibacterial activity of silver species has been well known since ancient times (Holt and Bard 2005; Shrivastava et al. 2007) and it has been demonstrated that, in low concentrations, silver is non toxic to human cells (Zhang et al.”
Antibacterial activity and mechanism of silver nanoparticles on Escherichia coli (2009, background): “In 2005, Holt and Bard found that Ag+ inhibited respiration of E. coli by determining change of oxygen dissolved in culture resolution (Holt and Bard 2005).”
The effect of charge at the surface of silver nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: a preliminary study (2015, background): “Likewise, some of the metal nanoparticles have shown to have favourable bactericidal effects against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, among which silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for this criterion [4].”
Metal nanoparticles: understanding the mechanisms behind antibacterial activity (2017, background): “Many studies exposing cells to NPs found that the DNA was damaged [29, 71, 86].”
