Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health problem, exacerbated by the excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics in human medicine, animal care agriculture. Therefore, new strategies compounds are needed to overcome this issue. In view, it may be appropriate reconsider existing biomaterials alleviate antibiotic overuse. Chitin, naturally abundant amino mucopolysaccharide, poly-β-1, 4-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). It white, hard, inelastic, nitrogenous polysaccharide source surface pollution coastal areas. Chitosan derives from partial N-deacetylation chitin originates shells crustaceans fungi cell walls. nontoxic natural antimicrobial polymer approved GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe United States Food Drug Administration). Chitin chitosan, non-toxic biopolymers, useful for wastewater treatment remove pollutants, such pharmaceuticals, heavy metals dyes. The described features make these biopolymers intriguing investigated their application antibacterials.
