| Abstract Scope |
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been proven to be a remarkable choice for utilization as an antibacterial agent. AuNP has been demonstrated to have a satisfactory performance against several types of pathogens, and analysis of its antibacterial action has also become a trending subject in contemporary times. In terms of the toxicity effects, results are sometimes ambiguous and contradictory due to the lack of a standardized experimental methodology; different research have utilized diverse techniques, delivery routes, and doses, and comparable tests may provide different results. This study describes the antibacterial action of gold nanoparticles against several types of bacteria in order to give a concise overview of and insight into the existing knowledge for researchers committed to this field. The potential of gold nanoparticles as an antibacterial agent and the toxicity of gold nanoparticles, both in vitro and in vivo, were both emphasized as important topics that need additional research. |
