Abstract

Nanoparticles exhibit size-dependent physical and chemical properties. These properties of nanoparticles make them very special, as they are. Hence, many researchers are doing their research in the field of nanotechnology. This review focuses on the antibacterial activity of transition metal nanoparticles. During this review, it is found that the biocompatible transition metal nanoparticles exhibit the photo-oxidizing and photocatalysis impacts on chemical and biological systems/species. This photo-oxidizing and photocatalytic impact are beneficial for killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth. The metal nanoparticles such as TiO2, Fe2O3, Silver nanoparticles, Gold nanoparticles, etc. have good antibacterial activity. This study can open new doors to fight and control future health hazards.
