Abstract :

Today, nanoparticles include a wide range of particles with unique properties. Due to their small size and unique properties, these particles can be used in various sciences. Nanoscale biological compounds have unique physical-chemical properties that are In recent years, recently, the efficacy of antimicrobial nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticles and their antimicrobial activity, has been the focus of researchers and researches have been conducted. In this study, recent advances and research results of researchers in the use of antibacterial and antiseptic properties of silver nanoparticles, silver and silver composites have been reviewed.The search was done on SID and Google Scholar sites. We did not have a time limit for the search, and all the articles that met the entry criteria were included in the study until March 2018. Among the articles found, some of the articles with the conditions including the complete article have antibacterial and anti-infective properties. 10 articles were evaluated. All the articles have anti-bacterial and anti-infective properties of Silver nanoparticles, silver and silver composites have been in different levels.
