Rapid biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles and their enhanced antibacterial effects against Escherichia fergusonii and Streptococcus mutans

Emergence of antibiotic resistance has become an increasingly important public health issue. Although several new antibiotics have been developed in the last few decades, none of them show improved activity against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have long been known for t...
