Nanozymes – A route to overcome microbial resistance: A viewpoint
Abstract
The bactericide is one of the major objective consequences related to healthcare in the world. Natural enzymes have been broadly utilized in various applications such as biomedical areas due to their broad catalytic activities and substrate particularity. While anticipating, it has drawbacks like higher cost, low stability, and troubles in reprocessing. Additionally, artificial enzymes (nanozymes) have favors above natural enzymes, for example, the effortless yield on a big scale, low costs, and high stability in coarse surrounds. The amount of antibiotic repellent microorganisms has activated big concern in the growth of stuff with essential bactericide potentials such as metal or metal oxide nanoparticles, cationic polymeric compounds, graphene oxide, and other carbon materials that can be used as antibacterial agents by altering cell morphology. In this report, we have summarized catalytic antibacterial strategies by natural enzymes, artificial enzymes, or photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the demands and hereafter contents about catalytic antibacterial strategies are supposed in this report.
