Antimicrobial applications of nanoliposome encapsulated silver nanoparticles a potential strategy to overcome bacterial resistance

Bacterial infections result in hundreds of million cases of severe illness annually worldwide. Rapidly increasing drug resistance of pathogens further aggravates this threat to human health and warrants the search for effective broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. Silver metal has a long history of...
