Revisiting spontaneous silver nanoparticles formation: a factor influencing the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration values?
The present study gives evidence that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are spontaneously formed from Ag<sup>+</sup> ions in Mueller-Hinton broth, which is frequently used as a standard cultivation medium for many types of bacteria. Silver ions often serve as a reference in the determination...
