The different types of nanomaterials like copper, zinc, titanium, magnesium, gold, alginate and silver possess the antimicrobial activity [1–3]. Among the various antimicrobials, silver is most promising because of its inherent properties of high thermal stability, little toxicity to mammalian cells and tissues [4, 5], versatile activity (such as good antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, viruses and other eukaryotic microorganisms) and long-term activity [6]. Therefore, the silver-containing materials having excellent antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of microbes have attracted much interest of the scientists [7]. |
