| Abstract Scope |
Communicable diseases which are usually caused by bacteria have led to a significant strain on public health worldwide. Apart from the fact that this disease-causing bacteria is responsible for so many deaths, some of the remedies used in the tackling of these diseases are impeded by concurrent resistance to multiple drugs, intimating that there is an earnest and urgent necessity to generate novel therapeutics that can subdue drug resistance. 3D Iron oxide nanoparticles have been shown to have heightened properties that can combat drug-resistant bacteria owing to their magnetic and biomedical properties. This review summarizes the up-to-date green synthetic approach that has been employed in fabricating iron oxide nanoparticles. The utilization of the generated iron oxide nanoparticles in inhibiting bacteria and challenges are also highlighted. It is anticipated that this study will provide adequate knowledge of the applications of iron oxide nanoparticles in the treatment of bacterial infections. |
