The exploration of nanoparticles as antimicrobial and antiviral agents has gained attention due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Nanoparticles have shown potential in treating microbial infections, and their use as delivery agents cannot be overlooked. Various materials have been used to synthesize nanoparticles with unique properties for specific therapeutic purposes.
The scientific explorations of nanoparticles for their inherent therapeutic potencies as antimicrobial and antiviral agents due to increasing incidences of antibiotic resistance have gained more attention in recent time. This factor amongst others necessitates the search for newer and more effective antimicrobial agents. Several investigation shave demonstrated the prospects of nanoparticles in the treatment of various microbial infections. The therapeutic applications of nanoparticles as either delivery agent or broad spectrum inhibition agents in viral and microbial investigations can no longer be overlooked. Their large surface area to volume ratio made them an indispensable substance as delivery agents in many respect. Various materials have been used for the synthesis of nanoparticles with unique properties channelised to meet specific therapeutic requirement. This review focuses on the antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral potential of nanoparticles with their probable mechanism of action.
