Abstract
Nowadays, resistant bacterial strains have become major threats to medical science, causing various infectious disease conditions against different traditional antibiotics. Medical world is also looking for potential antimicrobial agents against different resistant bacterial strains to replace conventional antibiotics. Due to advance physico-chemical properties, nanoparticles have pulled tremendous recognition from different groups of research for their advance uses in various streams of medical science. Unfortunately, currently engineered nanoparticles became a major challenge towards researcher for using nanoparticles against drug-resistant bacterial species. Although, there are several physical and chemical synthesis approaches to engineer nanomaterials, nevertheless most of them are not eco-friendly. Hence, different research groups have adopted green synthesis approaches for synthesis of nanoparticles. In this context, we highlights about different synthesis ways such as physical as well as chemical synthesis approaches to engineered nanoparticles along with green synthesis method, an eco-friendly approach in comparison to other conventional methods. Nanoantibiotics also deliver a new way of escaping present antimicrobial discovery model and also holds potential to become a new bioweapon toward bacterial resistant strains. Therefore, in this chapter we have discussed application of nanoparticle as a novel antibiotics with their antibacterial mechanism, could be potential solutions against different infectious diseases caused by various microorganisms.
