Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics has brought a series of medical problems including the increase of bacterial drug-resistance. Given the current conditions researchers tend to develop a new field of medicines to gradually replace conventional anti-bacterial agents. Nanomaterials-based anti-bacterial agents have drawn tremendous interest because of a range of advantages over traditional anti-bacterial agents including higher efficiency, low provocation of drug-resistance, lower cost and other specific properties given by the nanoscale, making it a research topic in great demand. At present, numerous categories of anti-bacterial agents have been developed and completed with various properties, and along with the process many hypothesis and mechanisms have been suggested to serve as conferences to guide further research and creation. This research aims at summarizing mechanisms of current typical nanomaterials-based anti-bacterial agents including anti-bacterial peptide, carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) and metal nanomaterials while also providing related application fields in order to give a primary and wide acknowledge.
