Nanoantibiotics: Functions and Properties at the Nanoscale to Combat Antibiotic Resistance

M. Mustafa Mamun et al.

Summary: Nanoantibiotics, encapsulating antibiotic molecules with engineered nanoparticles or artificially synthesized pure antibiotics, can restore drug efficacy and counteract antibiotic resistant bacteria through multi-dimensional attacks. With nanoscale functionalities, NPs deliver antibiotics at high concentrations, breaking down bacteria physically and interfering with critical molecules in bacterial processes. Utilizing the physical and chemical properties of NPs, nAbts epitomize a potential Trojan horse strategy to circumvent antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Antibacterial mechanism and transcriptome analysis of ultra-small gold nanoclusters as an alternative of harmful antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria

Yuxian Wang et al.

Summary: In this work, highly pure Au25 NCs were prepared using a simple one-pot reducing method, showing excellent antibacterial efficiency against Gram-negative bacteria in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The antibacterial mechanism involved damage to cell membrane integrity, disruption of antioxidant defense system, DNA damage, and energy metabolism, leading to growth inhibition and death of the bacteria.

Luminescent metal nanoclusters: Biosensing strategies and bioimaging applications

Yan Xiao et al.

Summary: Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) are small metal-organic aggregates with molecule-like properties, particularly strong and bright luminescence, making them useful in biosensing and bioimaging applications. Aggregation-induced emission is a feasible mechanism for controlling the luminescence of MNCs. Despite the lack of a systematic summary in current literature, research on the design and practicality of luminescent MNCs for biomedical applications is advancing.
