Many consumer products contain nanosilver because of its antimicrobial activity. However, nanosilver can cause some bacteria to rapidly adapt and flourish. The aim of this research is to investigate the origins of induced antimicrobial resistance to nanosilver. The generated information is transferrable to the fundamental elucidation of the potential cell acquired resistance across the broader range of nanomaterials beyond nanosilver. The knowledge is vital for the protection and well-being of the international community and the environment. The expected outcomes of this research are the information of cytotoxicity origin of nanosilver and mechanism of cell defence to toxicity...Read more ...
