Effect of the size and shape of silver nanoparticles on bacterial growth and metabolism by monitoring optical density and fluorescence intensity (2017, positive): “This contact may cause the increase in permeability of the outer membrane, which leads to the entry of AgNP into cells and influences the cellular response [19].”
Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts. (2013, background): “Extensive literature exists on the mechanisms of antimicrobial action of silver and gold nanoparticles (Chaloupka et al., 2010; Cui et al., 2012; Li et al., 2010).”
Antibacterial mechanism of biogenic silver nanoparticles of Lactobacillus acidophilus (2015, background): “[30] reported the inhibitory mechanism of silver nanoparticles against E.”
Silver Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Application for Nanomedicine (2019, background): “The shape and higher temperature of AgNPs equally caused a greater degree of toxicity and accelerated the rate of ion release by more effective dissolution [68,69].”
