Abstract
The threat caused by drug-resistant pathogens represents a great concern to several economic sectors. This issue has intensified the development of more efficient antimicrobial products that could be safe not only for medical, pharmaceutical, water disinfection and food applications but also for reduced environmental impact. Nanotechnology now emerges as a powerful tool for scientists and engineers to develop engineered nanomaterials with remarkable antimicrobial activity. The potential of engineered nanomaterials is now certain to benefit different areas, such as medicine, food, pharmaceutical, and agriculture, once higher antimicrobial effectiveness implies in reduced content of antimicrobial compounds, thereby reducing cytotoxicity effects as well as environmental impact to different forms of life. This chapter summarizes the most recent achievements on antimicrobial engineered nanomaterials intended for better medicine, cosmetics, environmental, and food applications with emphasis on (i) new silver-based hybrid nanomaterials, (ii) new bioinspired antimicrobial nanoparticles, (iii) new antimicrobial nanostructures derived from layered minerals, (iv) recent developments on antimicrobial polymer nanocomposites, and finally (v) some recent trends in nanotechnological antimicrobial products available at the European market. The remarkable importance of antimicrobial engineered nanomaterials emerges from the combination of different nanomaterials so that main advantages of each are built together into new, revolutionary systems capable of solving the pathogen infection issue.
