Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have recently emerged as promising materials in the biomedical sciences because of their antimicrobial activities towards a wide variety of microorganisms. Nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems with antimicrobial activity are critical as they may lead to novel treatments for cutaneous pathogens. In this review, we explore the recent progress on phytochemical-mediated synthesis of Ag NPs for antimicrobial treatment and associated infectious diseases. We discuss the biological activity of Ag NPs including mechanisms, antimicrobial activity, and antifungal/antiviral effects towards various microorganisms. The advent of Ag NP-based nanocarriers and nano-vehicles is also described for treatment of different diseases, along with the mechanisms of microbial inhibition. Overall, this review will provide a rational vision of the main achievements of Ag NPs as nanocarriers for inhibition of various microbial agents (bacteria, fungus, and virus).

银纳米颗粒（Ag NPs）由于其抗菌活性，最近在生物医学领域崭露头角，成为有前途的材料。对各种各样的微生物。具有抗菌活性的基于纳米材料的药物输送系统至关重要，因为它们可能导致皮肤病原体的新疗法。在这篇综述中，我们探索了用于抗菌治疗和相关感染性疾病的植物化学介导的Ag NPs合成的最新进展。我们讨论了Ag NPs的生物学活性，包括机制，抗微生物活性以及对各种微生物的抗真菌/抗病毒作用。还描述了基于Ag NP的纳米载体和纳米载体的出现，以治疗各种疾病以及抑制微生物的机理。总体而言，本综述将提供对银纳米颗粒作为抑制各种微生物制剂（细菌，真菌和病毒）的纳米载体的主要成就的理性认识。
