In this work, the influence of different nanoparticles on microorganisms was evaluated in 89 studies. It was found that nanoparticles can be used against microorganisms, either independently or by their synergistic effect with antibiotics. The study found that metal nanoparticles have a more anti-microbial effect, among metal nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles exert the most specific among all microorganisms. Meanwhile, metal nanoparticles can be a good alternative to the use of antibiotics and inhibitors of pathogens.
