Antibacterial and anti-viral effects of silver nanoparticles in medicine against COVID-19—a review

The article reviews the research on disinfecting the air through air filters and ventilation systems using silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) (encouraged from the present situation of COVID-19) focusing on stopping the spreading of deadly viruses The primary goal of the research is to demonstrate possible antiviral Ag NP formulations to be delivered by inhalation, to minimize the worsening of respiratory system infections The basic design of the study includes a bibliometric analysis of the study of the effect of Ag NPs on the disinfection of viral infections The research will discuss the idea of the use of laser ablation with Ag NPs for antiviral and antibacterial effects The research article results in compelling evidence for the use of Ag NPs for medicinal purposes for infectious diseases/viruses and will contribute to the progress of medical science to protect healthcare workers from dangerous viruses at medical institutions Practically, the research will generate a sterile system, which might be employed by every public or private institution economically with Ag NPs (because of their antimicrobial properties)
