Abstract

For the last few decades, multidrug-resistant bacteria are one of the major threats to the lives of a human being. This is due to overdosage of antibiotics, low stability of antibiotics, antibiotics poor internalization with bacteria and others. For these reasons, nanomaterials have dramatically expanded the range of tools employed for infection control and hence, improving the health of humans in the 21st century. Herein, this chapter deals with the importance of antibiotic nanomaterials, and their antibacterial mechanism is discussed. In addition, recent reports on engineered antibiotic nanocomposite materials toward multidrug-resistant bacteria are discussed.
