Özet
Antibiotic-resistant biofilms are a major problem in healthcare, agriculture, and industry, leading to chronic infections and decreased antibiotic efficacy. Nanomaterials have been developed as novel solutions for controlling antibiotic-resistant biofilms because of their distinctive physicochemical characteristics, such as increased penetration, site-specific antimicrobial action, and biofilm disruption. This chapter explores the opportunity of using different nanomaterials, metallic nanoparticles Ag, Cu, and ZnO, carbon-based nanomaterials, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and polymeric nanocarriers, to fight resistant biofilms. The ways in which nanomaterials affect biofilms, increase antibiotic ability, and inhibit microbial connection have been the focus. This chapter also highlights the challenges of nanomaterial use, such as cytotoxicity, stability, and controlling issues. Future research should focus on the development of engineered nanomaterials and their application in antimicrobial methods for the inexpensive control of biofilms. Nanotechnology presents a novel pathway for overcoming biofilm-related antimicrobial resistance, leading to new therapeutic interventions.
