ABSTRACT
Nowadays, the use of biological methods of synthesis of nanoparticles as substitutes for methods that use high energy and consumption of expensive and dangerous materials is of interest to researchers all over the world. Biological methods of synthesising metal nanoparticles are very important because they are easy, affordable, safe, environmentally friendly and able to control the size and shape of nanoparticles. One of the methods that is of interest today is the use of bacteriophages as the most abundant organisms in nature in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Nanomaterials biosynthesized from phages have shown various clinical applications, including antimicrobial activities, biomedical sensors, drug and gene delivery systems, cancer treatment and tissue regeneration. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to investigate the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles with phages and their biomedical applications.
