“…The capacity of a microbial organism to invade and produce toxins inside the body of the host is known as virulence. [19] It is well known that there are two types of bacterial cell walls: gram-positive and gram-negative. Gram-positive cells have a thick peptidoglycan layer, whereas Gram-negative cells are thought to be less likely to have a thin peptidoglycan layer with an additional membrane containing lipopolysaccharides, known as the periplasm.…”

“…The classification of conventional antibiotics was based on the mechanism of action, first, whether they kill the bacteria or inhibit the growth of bacteria, secondly based on its chemical structure and finally based on their target. [19] These drugs either eliminate the bacteria or prevent them from growing. This aids the immune system in battling the microorganisms in your body.…”

“…As a result, patients may experience prolonged infections, expensive treatments, and a higher fatality risk from even routine bacterial infections. [19,21,22] Numerous investigations have been carried out to increase the efficacy of the available antimicrobial treatments since the emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogens is a critical health concern. Both the rising rate of post-surgical infections and the increased bacterial resistance to many potent medicines are quite concerning.…”

Their health industry is facing challenges due to a rise in mortality rates brought on by various multi‐drug‐resistant bacterial strains. As a result, new and improvedantibacterial drugs are urgently needed. Similarly, when some unwanted foreign pathogensenter the cellular premises to disturb its homeostasis, inflammation develops as an immune reaction. However, these immune responses also become a double‐edged sword when the inflammatory reaction lasts for a long time, and pain is also linked to inflammatory responses. Inflammation and pain are both signs of tissue injury. Pain is,by definition, an unpleasant experience that ultimately interferes with their normalwell‐being. Hence, bacterial infection, inflammation, and pain need medical assistance to maintain homeostasis. Conventional medicines possess so many repercussive effects, which then demand a replacement with a less toxic and more efficient modern drug. In their review article, for the first time, they present recent advancements in biomedical applications such as the antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory, and analgesic properties of noble metal nanoparticles. Noble metals have limited availability in the earth's crust. Hence, their physicochemical characterizations and applications are greatly limited. Still, there are some interesting research findings that offer a significant ray of hope for the health sector all over the world.
