dc.description.abstractResistance to numerous antibiotics by a broad strain of microorganisms has become a global health concern. Conventional antibiotic agents and techniques have become inadequate to completely combat infectious diseases associated with this pathogen; thus, there is an increased rate of infectious disease mortality. In recent years, various scientific researchers have embarked on studies to explore alternate ways by which antibiotic resistance can be curbed. Nanotechnology has proven to be very promising, and a typical example of a nanotechnology strategy that has shown potential application in targeting different strains of resistant and nonresistant microbial strains is the treatment with metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs). This chapter, therefore, focuses on different types of MONPs with antibacterial activities that have been studied, their method of synthesis, mechanisms of action, as well as the various fields that they can be potentially relevant in targeting pathogenic organisms.en_US
