Emerging Nanomaterials and Nano-based Drug Delivery Approaches to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance

Emerging Nanomaterials and Nano-based Drug Delivery Approaches to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance focuses on recent and emerging trends surrounding nanomaterials and nano-drug delivery approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance. The relationship between nanomaterials and antimicrobial activity needs to be deeply explored to meet the challenges of combating  antimicrobial resistance. The content of this book is divided into three main topic areas, including (i) how to overcome the existing traditional approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance, (ii) applying multiple drug delivery mechanisms to target multi-drug resistant microbes, and (iii) how nanomaterials can be used as drug carriers. This is an important reference source for those looking to understand how nanotechnology plays an important role in combatting disease and infection. As antimicrobial resistance threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi, this is a timely resource. Outlines how to overcome existing traditional approaches to combatting antimicrobial resistance Explains how to apply multiple drug delivery mechanisms (MDR) to the target area in order to better combat antimicrobial resistance Shows how nanomaterials are used as drug carriers in this context INDICE: 1.
