Antimicrobial and Antibacterial Agents

Nanotechnology in Antimicrobial Drug Delivery

Nanotechnology has revolutionized antimicrobial drug delivery by offering precise and targeted therapeutic solutions. Nanoparticles, with their unique properties and size range, enable controlled release of antimicrobial agents at the infection site, enhancing efficacy while reducing side effects. This technology allows for improved bioavailability, prolonged drug circulation, and protection of drugs from degradation, thus overcoming many challenges associated with conventional drug delivery systems. Additionally, nanocarriers can be functionalized with ligands for specific targeting of pathogens or infected cells, making them highly versatile and adaptable.
