Essential Oils and Nanotechnology for Treatment of Microbial Diseases (PDF Book)

Overview

There has been emergence of multidrug resistance problem all over the world due to overuse or underuse of antibiotics. Most microbes including bacteria, fungi, protozoans and others have developed resistance to antibiotics, and therefore, this problem is now recognized to be of global concern. Investigations for new alternatives and novel strategies are urgently needed to address the problem of multidrug resistance.

One effective solution for microbial resistance is the antimicrobial potential of essential oils and metallic nanoparticles. Essential oils (EOs) are volatile, natural, aromatic oily liquids derived from plants that have antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant properties. Nanoparticles like silver have broad-spectrum biological activities and high surface area-to-volume ratio, making them a promising tool in curing different diseases, particularly microbial diseases. These nanoparticles have been used in treatment of wounds, burns, water-disinfecting systems, and development of dental materials and as antibacterial, antivirals, anti-protozoals, anti-arthropods and anticancerous agents.

This book offers insight into the potential solutions to the global problem of multidrug resistance. It is of interest to chemists, microbiologists, biotechnologists, food technologists, nanotechnologists, pharmacologists, clinicians and those interested in nature cure.
