Abstract

Infections have been the greatest challenge to the advancement of human race. With the advent of antibiotic therapy, successful treatment strategy was installed against infections. But, due to improper use and misuse of antibiotics along with the evolutionary advantage gained by microorganisms against antibiotics, resistant strains evolved that made the action of many antibiotics futile. Scientific world was after developing newer, more powerful antibiotics to counter the resistant strains, but later realised to change their strategy to adopt methods with the same set of antibiotic armamentaria used in a different way to overcome the resistance barrier created by the microbes. For implementing this strategy, nanoscience and technology came handy. This chapter describes the historical developments in the field of nanoscience briefly, the conventional management strategies for infections and the use of nanotechnology in the control of infections. A section on the use of nanotechnology in the control of other diseases is also added.
