Abstract:
The antibacterial property of silver nanoparticles has resulted in their widespread application in many fields,so the chance of silver nanoparticles exposure for human increased greatly.Thus,there is urgent need to assess the safety of such particle.So far,most toxicological studies of silver nanoparticles mainly focus on the cytotoxicity using different examination endpoint such as morphology,mitochondrial function,cell proliferation,enzyme activity,and so on.In addition,the in vitro studies on the toxicity of silver nanopoarticles are also reported,few of the study on molecule mechanism of toxicity was reported.This review provided a summary of antibacterial mechanism of silver nanoparticles and the current research situation of the safety.The future research direction of toxicological study of silver nanoparticles is also prospected based on the current knowledge.
