A review of Effects of Molecular mechanism of Silver Nanoparticles on Some microorganism and Eukaryotic Cells

Nanotechnology as a branch of science which is related to nano materials helps in overcoming the limitations of size and can change the outlook of the world regarding science. One of the most important characteristics of silver nano particles is disinfection of some microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and nematodes. In this review, we have investigated different mode of action of silver nanoparticles on above mentioned creatures and also on some eukaryotic cells which have been studied in different research projects in various regions of the world. It is hypothesized that the toxic effects of nano silver are due to uncontrolled generation of free radicals and stimulation of oxidative stress. It is obvious that nano science is progressing and many unknown effects of nanomaterials will be uncovered in near future. We hope this review can give a brief view of identity of nano material (especially silver nano particles) to whom may be interested in this new but very expanded knowledge.
