Abstract

Infections, that are resistant to the various antibiotics, have increased and become a major concern in the field of drug discovery. This has initiated the need to improve the quality of the existing drugs or find an innovative set of strategies to overcome this issue. In the hope of treating multiple-drug resistant infections, the concept of using natural products to form nanoparticles that could resolve the problem has been introduced. This review talks about the myriad ways of synthesis of silver nanoparticles from natural products which helps in the treatment of multiple diseases.
