Abstract

In the middle of the late century, the concept of medicine has been reshaped and reformed by the discovery of antibiotics. Untreatable infectious diseases have become treatable, However, with time microbes adapt to resist the antibiotic treatments due to their enormous adaptive ability. Therefore, new antibiotics were required to combat these resistant bacteria. But the enormous adaptive ability of bacteria has turned the next generation of antibiotics obsolete. Thus, Nanoparticles play a crucial role due to their antibacterial activity. Besides, these can act as carriers for various antibiotics to increase their efficiency against superbugs. The current review provides an in-depth overview of nanoparticles, their biosynthesis, antibacterial activity, and synergistic effects with various antibiotics.
