Bacterial infections continue to be a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Considering the increment in bacteria resistant to antibiotic and the prevalence of illnesses linked to biofilms, it is imperative that new strategies of killing bacteria be developed. As a result, recent years have seen a surge in interest in nanoparticle-based materials for use in antimicrobial chemotherapy. Bacterial infections have remained a significant source of death and morbidity, despite the availability of many powerful antibiotics and other antimicrobial measures. Because of rising worries about drug-resistant bacteria and diseases linked to biofilms, there is an urgent need to create new bactericidal techniques. As a result, the science of antimicrobial chemotherapeutic has focused heavily on recently developed nanoparticle-based materials. Nanoparticles are discussed in this article in terms of their antimicrobial properties, their method of action, their influence on drug-resistant microorganisms, and the hazards associated with their usage. Nanoparticles' special characteristics and their mode of action as antimicrobial properties are examined in depth, as are the factors that contribute to their performance in a clinical environment.
