What Are Nanoparticles and How Are They Used Against Infectious Agents?
Nanoparticles are tiny particles that can be engineered to interact with biological systems at the molecular level. They can be used to deliver antimicrobials directly to the site of infection, thus improving efficacy and reducing side effects. For example, silver nanoparticles have shown significant antimicrobial properties and are being researched for use in coatings and wound dressings to prevent infections.
