Functionalized Nanomaterials for the Management of Microbial
Infection: A Strategy to Address Microbial Drug Resistance
introduces the reader to the newly developing use of nanotechnology
to combat microbial drug resistance. Excessive use of antibiotics
and antimicrobial agents has produced an inexorable rise in
antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens. The use of
nanotechnology is currently the most promising strategy to overcome
microbial drug resistance. This book shows how, due to their small
size, nanoparticles can surmount existing drug resistance
mechanisms, including decreased uptake and increased efflux of the
drug from the microbial cell, biofilm formation, and intracellular
bacteria. In particular, chapters cover the use of nanoparticles to
raise intracellular antimicrobial levels, thus directly targeting
sites of infection and packaging multiple antimicrobial agents onto
a single nanoparticle.
