Résumé
Nanotechnology-driven advancements through the design of well-sized and shaped nanoparticles provide a compelling solution in the fight against widespread diseases, mortalities, and economic impacts caused by bacterial infections and drug resistance. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have gained recognition as safe and economically viable antibacterial agents to counteract bacterial contamination and multidrug-resistant concerns. This work provides a comprehensive review of the antibacterial mechanisms of Ag NPs and their related nanocomposites. Importantly, it delves into the importance of synthesis strategies in governing the size and shape of desired Ag NPs, along with a detailed examination of their advantages and limitations, on the one hand. Moreover, aiming to address the toxicity and aggregation problems encountered with the sole use of silver NPs in medical applications, this review summarizes all the well-engineered silver-based nanocomposites through the combination of silver NPs with other antibacterial agents, including both inorganic and inorganic nanomaterials. These reported silver-based nanocomposites could be used as antibiotic-free strategies in the fight against bacterial infections, which could act with multiple simultaneous mechanisms to treat or prevent contaminations efficiently. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
