The Substantial Role of Cell and Nanoparticle Surface Properties in the Antibacterial Potential of Spherical Silver Nanoparticles
Contrary to previous reports, we found that a moderate surface charge is crucial for the antibacterial activity of AgNPs, and that a significant attraction of the nanoparticle to the cell surface reduces the antibacterial potential of AgNPs. These findings challenge the existing views on AgNP antibacterial mechanisms and interactions with bacterial cells.
