The toxicity of silver to bacterial cells is well documented. It has been reported that Ag- nanoparticles are active biocidal agent against Gram +ive Gram -ive bacteria. Silver nanoparticles are non-toxic to human body at low concentration. It inhibits the bacterial growth at very low concentration than antibiotics and has no side effect in patients. Viewing all the above facts, it is necessary to develop a substitute for antibiotics. In this study, silver (Ag) nanoparticles ( 6 nm) were synthesized using electro-exploding wire (EEW) technique. Antibacterial action of Ag nanoparticles was...
