In this study, we prepared medical dressings with silver nanoparticles to treat diabetic foot patient by photochemical reduction process of silver ions using sodium citrate and UV radiation. Antibacterial activity of dressing with silver nanoparticles against bacteria associated with diabetic foot was studied by disk diffusion method. It was observed that the bacteria did not grow on the culture medium where the medical gauze was impregnated with silver nanoparticles.
