Nanostructure Drug Delivery System Is an Option to Solve Antimicrobial Drug Resistance: Perspective Review

Abstract

Abstract Nanotechnology is the art and technique of manipulating materials on atomic or molecular scales, especially to build nanoscale structures and devices. In the past few years, problems of health care sectors have been tried to be solved through the development of nanostructure devices. Finding a solution to the problem of antibiotic resistance is an urgent global healthcare priority. Solving of antibiotic resistance could potentially prevent thousands of needless deaths and reduce the burden on healthcare systems around the world. The antibacterial nanostructures can show significantly enhanced antibacterial properties compared with conventional antibacterial agents. The present chapter is focused on various aspects of nanostructures used in antibacterial therapy, mainly recent advances in the research and applications of antimicrobial polymeric and other nanostructures.
