Nano-Antimicrobials Progress and Prospects / [electronic resource] : edited by Nicola Cioffi, Mahendra Rai. - XVI, 556p. 204 illus., 21 illus. in color. online resource.
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Nanoantimicrobials: Silver Nanoparticle Antimicrobials and Related Materials -- Synthesis, Characterization and Application of Silver-Based Antimicrobial Nanocomposites -- Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Copper Nanomaterials -- Titanium Dioxide-Polymer Nanocomposites with Advanced Properties.- Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles -- Characterization of Nanoantimicrobial Materials.- Bioactivity and Mechanisms of Action of Nanoantimicrobials: Silver Nanoparticles as Nanoantimicrobials: Bioactivity, Benefits and Bottlenecks.- Antimicrobial Activity of Silver and Copper Nanoparticles: Variation in Sensitivity across Various Strains of Bacteria and Fungi -- Metal-Containing Nanoantimicrobials: Differentiating the Impact of Solubilized Metals and Particles -- Electrosynthesis and Characterization of Antimicrobial Modified Protein Nanoaggregates -- Applications of Nanoantimicrobials: Engineering Nanostructured Silver Coatings for Antimicrobial Applications -- Biotechnological Routes to Metallic Nanoparticles Production: Mechanistic Aspects, Antimicrobial Activity, Toxicity and Industrial Applications -- Antimicrobial Activity of Nanomaterials for Food Packaging Applications -- The Use of Antimicrobial Nanoparticles to Control Oral Infections -- Nanomaterial-Based Antibacterial Paper -- Antimicrobial Nanomaterials for Water Disinfection -- Toxicology of Nanoantimicrobials: Microorganisms: A Versatile Model for Toxicity Assessment of Engineered Nanoparticles -- Nanosilver Toxicity: Emerging Concerns and Consequences in Human Health. .
There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for anew generation of antimicrobial agents, which are effective, safe and can be used for the cure of multidrug-resistant microbial infections.Nano-antimicrobials offer effective solutions for these challenges; the details of these new technologies are presented here. The book includes chapters by an international team of experts. Chemical, physical, electrochemical, photochemical and mechanical methods of synthesis are covered. Moreover, biological synthesis using microbes, an option that is both eco-friendly and economically viable, is presented. The antimicrobial potential of different nanoparticles is also covered, bioactivity mechanisms are elaborated on, and several applications are reviewed in separate sections. Lastly, the toxicology of nano-antimicrobials is briefly assessed.
