Antimicrobial Effect of Chitosan and Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Due to the wide and inappropriate use of the antibiotics, the continuous development of resistant strains of bacteria to the most of common antibiotics has become a vital problem in public health; leading to strong stimulant to continuity developing new and effective antimicrobial agents. Nanotechnology considers as a magic tool to explore and treat the difficult problems of medical sciences. The confluence of nanotechnology and microbiology solves several biomedical problems, and also can revolutionize the health and medicine fields.
