The development of a reliable green chemistry process for the biogenic synthesis of
nanomaterials is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been known for their inhibitory and bactericidal effect.
Resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic bacteria has emerged in recent years and
is a major challenge for the health care industry. In the present investigation the use of the
fungus Trichoderma viride for the extracellular biosynthesis of AgNPs from silver nitrate …

Objective: In recent era, medical science has turned to a variety of novel products and
technologies to halt the spread of infections. The most promising and effective antimicrobial
agents being embraced by modern medical science today is silver. With increasing drug-
resistance and growing concern regarding the over-prescribing of antibiotics, there has
been a resurgent interest in the use of antimicrobial silver. Unlike antibiotics, silver appears
to be immune to resistance. Thus, the conjugation of antibiotic with silver nanoparticles …
