Nanoparticles as new emerging antibacterial: Potential and Limitations

N
ow days, microbial strains become resistant to the antibiotics and thus become serious public health problems that
increase the need to develop novel antimicrobial agents that can cope with these problems. The field of nanotechnology
has generated numerous novel antimicrobial options as the minute size of the nanoparticles is very appropriate for carrying
out antimicrobial biological operations medicinal sector. Metals such as silver, zinc, copper and iron nanoparticles types have
shown tremendous potential as bactericidal and fungicidal elements, demonstrating their potential as efficient antibiotic
reagents in wound care and related medical issues. These nanomaterials showed a positive effect as an antimicrobicide against
various pathogenic species. Today, Nanomaterials are found as a promising platform for unconventional measures to control
microbial infections as they offer prolonged antimicrobial efficacy with insignificant toxicity, when compared with small
molecular antimicrobial agents that shows short term activity as well as environmental toxicity.
