Preparation and Antibacterial Properties of Metal Nanoparticles
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Earlier metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been reported for several medical applications. Developments in modern medicine have increased the usage of metallic NPs for medical purposes due to their broad spectrum of biological properties such as anti-fungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, analgesic, muscle relaxant, antiangiogenic, and anti-inflammatory activity. In this issue, metal nanoparticles will be presented broadly as prevailing nanomaterials for the eradication of bacteria and/or bacterial infections. The current finding gives an indication that metal-based nanoparticles are very effective in supporting antibacterial potential. Chemically and laser-ablated gold, silver, copper, and iron nanoparticles possess promising antibacterial activity. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) showed good performance, chemically, physically, and catalytically. This issue will deal with details of the preparation, characterization, and antibacterial activities of different metallic nanoparticles (gold, silver, iron, copper, etc.).
We are pleased to invite all researchers and research teams that are interested in the field of preparation and the antibacterial properties of metal nanoparticles to contribute to this Topic with their manuscript(s). Full original research papers, short communications, and reviews regarding this Topic are all welcome.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
