Summary

Bioactive materials have a wide range of applications, and bioactive materials with antibacterial properties, in particular, have attracted significant medical interest. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria due to the uncontrolled, immoderate, and multiple use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics is a serious threat to the world population, as antibiotic-resistant microorganisms cause life-threatening diseases in humans. The development of novel, safe, and effective antibacterial agents is the decisive solution to this issue. In this context, bioactive polymer materials with antibacterial properties could be promising agents to control MDR bacteria; therefore, this Special Issue focuses on such materials. It is an open forum where scientists/researchers may share their knowledge, investigations, and findings in this promising field. 

 

This Special Issue contains a total of 17 articles. Among these 17 articles, 3 are comprehensive review articles, and the remaining 14 are research articles. These fourteen original articles are devoted to the antimicrobial applications and mechanisms of various bioactive materials against pathogenic microorganisms.
