Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely utilised in the industry and health care. This review demonstrates an exhaustive report on the toxicity of AgNPs towards pathogenic microbes. AgNPs are the most abundant antimicrobial agent for bacteria than other species and less harmful to human cells than to bacterial cells. This report suggests the relatively high acute toxicity of AgNPs to the microorganism. In addition, the toxicity mechanism of AgNPs is briefly discussed.
