Abstract

The rise of Multidrug resistant pathogen has led to the increase in global interest in bacteriophage therapy as an eco-friendlier approach as compared to conventional strategies to combat AMR. This study focuses on the hybrid strategies which includes a combination of phage therapy with green-synthesized AgNPs. The goal is to examine the chemical engineering methods, various properties of nanomaterials, and potent therapeutic applications of AgNP-phage systems to tackle MDR pathogens. Through a PRISMA review, key factors of the synergies between biogenic AgNPs and engineered bacteriophages were reported. Their stability, safety and antibacterial effectiveness was also noted by the help of a qualitative analysis. The results obtained indicated that the optimizing the size, shape and pH of silver nanoparticles improved the disruption of the biofilm and targeted bacterial killing, providing a scalable solution to tackle AMR. The overall research suggests that these hybrid systems have potential applications in various sectors such as medicine, agriculture, environmental fields aligning with the principles of green chemistry and circular bioengineering.
