Principles and Applications of Antimicrobial Nanomaterials Summary

Principles and Applications of Antimicrobial Nanomaterials by Joseph L. Graves Jr (Department of Biology, North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC, USA)

Principles and Applications of Antimicrobial Nanomaterials introduces the reader to the microbial world, antimicrobial nanomaterials, how microbial evolution works, and how knowledge of these areas can facilitate the development of sustainable antimicrobials. Due to the widespread occurrence of multidrug-resistant microbes, there is an increasing interest in the use of novel nanostructured materials as antimicrobials. This book is designed to help researchers from fields such as materials science, nanoscience, and nanoengineering who are attempting to develop these antimicrobial materials.
