From past few decades drug delivery using particulate delivery systems as carriers for small and large molecules is considered remarkably. Nano-crystalline silver particles has applications in the fields of high sensitivity biomolecular detection, antimicrobials, diagnostics, catalysis, therapeutics, and micro-electronics. Silver is well known from ancient time for inhibitory effect toward many bacterial and fungal strains and microorganisms commonly present in medical and industrial processes. This review will focus on the key properties of silver nanoparticles, their method of preparation, and its application in medicine, diagnostics and pharmaceutical industry. It concludes that due to unique physicochemical properties of metal nanoparticles like catalytic activity, optical properties, electronic properties, antibacterial properties and magnetic properties they have emerging applications in industries for preparation of consumer products and highly accepted application in biomedical fields (specifically antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory effects, and wound healing ability).
