Abstract

The leading cause of deaths and morbidity worldwide are infectious diseases. The affect is more common in people with weakened immune systems and children. Development of multiple drug resistance limits the use of ongoing therapies to infections. This is one of the main disadvantages of conventional antimicrobial agents and leads to frequent administration of high doses of drugs, followed by adverse after-effects. Thus, stating that there is a serious and urgent need to overcome drug resistance by developing new therapeutics. The utility of nanoparticle systems may prove beneficial to control such issues and elevate the effectiveness of drugs. There is currently substantial interest in utilizing them as antimicrobial agents towards several microbes such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi. This chapter will examine the available reports on metal nanoparticles, encapsulated nanoparticles, and nanoantibiotics as new promising medically helpful tools for treating infectious diseases and their efficacy.
