%X Currently, nanoparticles are being actively explored for antimicrobial applications involving variety of pathogens. Bacillus subtilis is a major concern considering its sporulation and biofilm formation capability which involves high bacteria loadings. Also, there is natural ability of B subtilis to adapt and develop resistance to the silver nanoparticles alone. So, this study reports the limits of antibacterial activity of triangular silver nanoplates (∆AgNPs) and further photothermal enhancement for B. subtilis ATCC 6051 for considerably high bacterial load of 2.5 × 107 to 5 × 108 CFU/ml.
