However a group of scientists at the University of California Santa Barbara claimed that, silver nanoparticles get flushed away, from blood stream, reducing toxicity considerably [5]. It is also reported that silver nanoparticles can protect some skin disease like atopic dermatitis [6]. The explanation of the protective effects is still not understood. It is suggested that silver can disrupt the bacterial cell wall. At minimal and rea- sonable concentration of silver, there are no side effects on human health [7]. Due to antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles it can be used as preservatives in cosmetics, and in anti-acne preparation. For example, sil- ver nanoparticles, which have antibacterial activity, are also being incorporated into toothpastes and shampoos as preservatives. Kim et al. observed that silver nanoparticles inhibit the growth of dermatophytes, making them potential anti-infective agent [8] [9]. Nano silver is also used in dietary supplement, because of its antibacterial, anti flu and cancer inhibitory effect. It also proves to be beneficiary in low blood count and bad skin [10]. With the emergence of nanoscience and technology, research has been initiated to exploit the unusual and unique properties of nanomaterials. Studies with various types of nanoparticles suggest that they may possess antibac- terial and antifungal properties. Silver nanoparticles have been studied extensively in this regard. The literature suggests that, while the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles may be due to the release of silver ions, it is also possible that they exhibit additional effect that cannot be explained solely by the release of silver ions in solution [11]. 2. Mechanism of Action of Silver Nanoparticles The silver nanoparticles get attached to the cell membrane and also penetrate inside the bacteria. The nanopar- ticles preferably attack the respiratory chain, cell division finally cell necrosis. The release of silver ions in the bacterial cells, enhance their bactericidal activity [12]. Silver nanoparticles show potential antimicrobial effects against infectious organisms, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Vibria cholera, Pseudomonas aeru- ginosa, Syphillis typhus, and S. aureus [13] [14]. Similarly studies were also done by J.S. Kim et al. to deter- mine the relationship between free radical and antimicrobial activity and the result showed that free radical may be derived from the surface of silver nanoparticles and could be responsible for its antimicrobial properties [15]. These nanoparticles had significant antifungal activities against trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida species (such as C. albicans, C. tropicolis, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei). Silver nanoparticles dis- rupt fungal envelope structure and lead to significant damage to fungal cells [16] [17]. Silver nanoparticles, kills bacteria by damaging the cell wall of bacteria [18] [19]. The antimicrobial efficacy of the nanoparticles depends on the size of the nanoparticles. Lower the particle size more efficacious they become [20]. Efficacy also changes with method of preparation of nanoparticles. For example AgNPs prepared with alginate having an average size of 7.6 nm exhibited the highest antibacterial activity among silver nanoparticles solution [21]. Silver also pos- sesses healing properties. In case of silvernano particles the skin regenerating function of dermis cells is poten- tiated, resulting in faster wound recovery. This prevents the scar formation renders healed skin smooth [22]. S. Gajbhiye, S. Sakharwade 49
