Engineered nanomaterials for antimicrobial applications: A review
Abstract
Abstract Human mortality rates due to infectious diseases from drug-resistant bacterial strains is becoming an epidemic in our society. Currently, the development of new, expensive and more effective treatment processes and medications have stemmed from the impotence of antibiotics due to misuse and/or improper administration. This has consequently created a range of short- and long-term side effects in patients. On the other hand, nanoparticles have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial potency towards various types of pathogens due to their size and cell damaging abilities through various mechanisms. Unlike antibiotics, which are administered to treat diseases and infection in patients, nanomaterials provides an interesting opportunity to limit microbial growth prior to human infection. This has led to the development of engineered antimicrobial materials, targeting different applications with nanoparticles as the active antimicrobial agents. Hence, we critically reviewed the recent progress achieved in the use of engineered nanomaterials for antimicrobial applications and the mechanism that make them highly effective. Applications in water treatment, healthcare and facility substrates, alternative food packaging, and antifouling coatings have been given special attention due to their relevance as media through which diseases are easily spread. Likewise, drawbacks and knowledge gaps in nanomaterial solutions for antimicrobial materials are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
