Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Effect of Silver and Titanium Nanoparticles

From The Clinical Editor: In this study, antimicrobial activity of silver and titanium nanoparticles was evaluated against a panel of selected pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. Silver-coated nanoparticles of 20-25 nm size were the most effective among all the nanoparticles without significant cytotoxicity, suggesting their use as antimicrobial additives in the process of fabrication of ambulatory and nonambulatory medical devices.
