Abstract

The increasing appearance of new strains of microorganisms resistant to the action of existing antibiotics is a modern problem that requires urgent decision. A promising potential solution is the use of nanoparticles of bioactive metals and their oxides as new antibacterial agents, since they are capable of affecting pathogenic microorganisms by mechanisms different from the mechanisms of action of antibiotics. Inorganic nanoparticles possess a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. These particles can be easily conjugated with drug molecules and become carriers in targeted drug-delivery systems. This paper discusses the benefits and prospects of the application of nanoparticles from metals and metal oxides and their nanocomposites with antibacterial drugs.
Keywords: nanometals; metal oxides nanoparticles; antibiotics; resistant bacteria strains; hybrid nanocomposites; antibacterial activity nanometals; metal oxides nanoparticles; antibiotics; resistant bacteria strains; hybrid nanocomposites; antibacterial activity
