Recent advances in the use of nanomaterials with antimicrobial capacity

Abstract

The present study was carried out to analyze the importance of biofilms and nanoparticles in-depth due to the development of new practices where nanotechnology is reflected. It includes the production and application of Materials such as atoms or individual molecules, up to materials with dimensions of 100 nm (nanoparticles) in biological, physical, and chemical systems.  A search for original and review articles in English and Spanish in the last ten years was carried out in the following databases: MedLine, Library Plus, ProQuest, NCBI, and ScienceDirect. The study of biofilms and nanoparticles remains in continuous evolution; due to the essential changes for humanity and the implications that these associations present in the various fields from medicine to industry.
