The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of silver nanoparticles against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

The result obtained from this study shows that silver nanoparticles have potential bactericidal effects against <i>S. aureus</i> at a concentration of 0.625 mg/ml. Silver nanoparticles can be incorporated in the root canal medicaments, sealers and irrigants as it possess potent antimicrobial efficacy against <i>S. aureus</i>.
