Nanomaterials in Wound Healing and Infection Control

Antibiotics, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 10(5), P. 473 - 473

Published: April 21, 2021

Wounds continue to be a serious medical concern due their increasing incidence from injuries, surgery, burns and chronic diseases such as diabetes. Delays in the healing process are influenced by infectious microbes, especially when they biofilm form, which leads persistent infection. Biofilms well known for increased antibiotic resistance. Therefore, development of novel wound dressing drug formulations materials with combined antibacterial, antibiofilm properties required. Nanomaterials (NM) have unique size very large surface area that wide range applications. Several NMs antimicrobial activity regeneration features thus give them promising applicability variety types. The idea NM-based antibiotics has been around decade at least there many recent reviews use nanomaterials antimicrobials. However, far less attention given exploring if these actually improve outcomes. In this review, we present an overview different types explored specifically infection control.
