The role of nanomaterials and antibiotics in microbial resistance and environmental impact: an overview

• Overview of recent NDDS for drug delivery applications. • Mechanisms of action of known and common nanoparticle and antibiotics. • Nanoparticle microbial resistance and potential adverse effects. • Impacts of nanoparticle and antibiotics combinatorial treatments in the environment. Increasing interest in the combinatory effects of nanoparticles (NPs) and antibiotics to diminish antibiotic resistance emergence, while maintaining antimicrobial...
