Abstract

The increasing threat of infection caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria is a global health concern that has become a serious medical emergence due to the rapid use of novel class antibiotics for curing infections. Nanotechnology introduces innovative strategies for addressing this challenge. This article concluded the recent development in the nanotechnology field and approaches for combating drug resistance in bacteria. It includes the development of nanomaterials that directly target the resistance mechanisms such as the production of reactive oxygen species or indirectly target the resistance by interfering with cellular metabolism. Nanotechnology may emerge as a potential remedy to cure MDR bacteria.
