Cover Story: As microbial infections caused by various drug-resistant microorganisms become more common and the number of newly approved antimicrobials for systemic administration capable of acting against these resistant pathogens is limited, formulation innovations of existing drugs are gaining prominence, and the applications of nanoformulations have become a useful alternative for improving/enhancing the effect of existing antimicrobial drugs. This work summarizes the most recent results of nanoformulations of antibiotics and antibacterial active nanomaterials. Nanoformulations of antimicrobial peptides and synergistic combinations of antimicrobial active agents with polymers, metals, metal oxides, and metalloids are also described. The mechanisms of action of selected nanoformulations, including systems with magnetic, photothermal, and photodynamic effects, are discussed. View this paper
