A Systematic Review on Antimicrobial Applications of Nanofibres

Abstract

Antibiotics resistance is a global issue causing health threats which is further causing mortality. Several attempts have been reported to overcome these issues. Despite of this, there are several limitations associated with conventional approaches. Nanofiber technique is an exciting area which has attracted many researchers due to its biomedical applicability such as in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and water purification. Antibiotics encapsulation inside the nanofibres gives the ability to destroy drug-resistant bacteria, additionally its large surface area allows for adhesion of cells as well as drugs. The present review focuses on the potential therapeutic applications of nanofibre technology in antimicrobial drug delivery.
