Abstract
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is an important issue in contemporary society. To date, infection-related problems persist despite intensive research efforts by chemists and biologists. Much effort has been devoted over the last decade to the development of organic/nonmetallic inorganic nanocompounds with antimicrobial activities for overcoming human infections and illnesses produced by antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Both organic nanomaterials such as chitosan nanoparticles and conductive-based polymer nanocompounds, as well as nonmetallic inorganic nanomaterials such as carbon-based nanocompounds and modified nanoceramics, have been manufactured and employed in medicine for treating multidrug-resistant infections. This review describes the most recent advances in the biomedical applications of antibacterial organic/nonmetallic inorganic nanocompounds.
