• Text Correction

In addition, two phrases in the original publication were not appropriate. The authors would like to change “vegetative electron microscopy” to “scanning electron microscopy” and “extracellular cells” to “extracellular membrane”. A correction has been made to Section 3. Ag Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Resistance, paragraph 1.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor.
