How is Nanotechnology Used in Antimicrobial Treatments?
Nanotechnology provides new approaches to combating microbial infections. Silver nanoparticles have well-documented antimicrobial properties and are used in coatings for medical devices to prevent infections. Additionally, nanomaterials can be designed to disrupt bacterial cell membranes or inhibit biofilm formation, offering alternative treatments to antibiotics and reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.
