What Are the Advantages Over Traditional Antibacterial Methods?
Nanotechnology offers several advantages over traditional antibacterial methods:
1. Higher Efficacy: Nanoparticles can target and kill bacteria more effectively due to their unique properties and mechanisms. 2. Reduced Resistance: Bacteria are less likely to develop resistance to nanoparticles compared to traditional antibiotics, as the mechanisms of action are multifaceted. 3. Targeted Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver antibacterial agents directly to the site of infection, minimizing side effects and enhancing treatment efficacy. 4. Biofilm Penetration: Nanoparticles can disrupt biofilms, which are often resistant to conventional antibiotics.
