The purpose of this chapter is to conduct a structured and systematic review of published literature on the current state of knowledge regarding silver-based antimicrobial packaging; in particular, the antibacterial capacity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been compiled in this chapter. The release kinetics and antimicrobial properties of AgNPs incorporated into biobased polymers such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoates have been extensively reviewed. Additionally, enteric viruses are a growing concern in many areas, especially in foods. This chapter reviews the usage of silver to fight enteric viruses.
