Furthermore, diverse compounds used to synthesize nanoparticles have enhanced drug delivery, stability, efficiency, and reactivity. Nevertheless, nanotechnology, in the medical and veterinary fields, is minimally introduced despite preventing antibiotic resistance and its microbicidal activity. This cautious clinical introduction of antibiotic-nanoparticles for drug delivery is appropriate because the long-term human, animal, and environmental effects of nanomaterials remain unknown. Furthermore, there is a lack of understanding about the effects of biological processes from antibiotic-nanoparticle combinatorial treatments. Hence, to avoid another antibiotic resistance crisis, further investigation and clinical introduction caution is needed to determine the effects of synthesis and applications on combinatory treatments.
