| Summary: | Antimicrobial Nanosystems: Fabrication and Development provides an in-depth review of nanotechnological advancements in the fields of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries to counteract bacterial infections and related health issues. Functionalized nanomaterials and their processes are covered, along with the theory and fabrication of antimicrobial nanosystems. The potential applications of antimicrobial nanosystems are also discussed along with their challenges and commercialization. This book discusses the most frequent problems caused by resistant microorganisms and difficult-to-treat bacteria and highlights the impact of recently developed antimicrobial nanosystems. Various methodsto obtain efficient nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties are described, along with their advantages, challenges, and main applications. The design of targeting antimicrobial therapeutics, able to specifically detect pathogenic microorganisms and to act in a very specific manner, is thoroughly investigated. Discusses the most frequent problems caused by resistant microorganisms and difficult-to-treat bacteria Includes various methods to obtain efficient nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties that are described along with their advantages, challenges and main applications Covers the ability of microbes to adapt and select resistance, a major challenge in the design of alternative antimicrobial agents Provides various sections that illustrate the fabrication and development of antimicrobial nanosystems. |
