Antimicrobial Properties of Nanoparticles (NPS)

Abstract

With the help of nanoparticles treatment of diseases without any side effects can be achieved with the help of nanotechnology. The devices operating at nanoscale range such as nanoparticles, paves the path for a new method for imaging, diagnosis and therapy. Nanoparticles have antimicrobial properties which can locally destroy bacteria, without doing any harm to the surrounding tissues. This review focuses on the antimicrobial effects of nanoparticles.
