Abstract

High toxicity, low host tolerance, narrow spectrum of antifungal drugs and increasing incidence of azole-resistance complicates treatment of invasive Candida infections. Due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance as an increasing threat to global health care, arises the need to develop new, and effective broad spectrum active antifungal agents. Thus understanding and combating drug resistance in Candida albicans is a toughest challenge being faced today and it’s immensely important to develop an alternative coating that can inhibit biofilm formation on medical devices as implants and catheters. Additionally, the fascinating properties of nanomaterials and biocompatibility promises great potential in nanomedical applications, especially in medical microbiology. With appropriate modification of these synthetic materials, several disease infections can be cured and results have shown the use of these nanomaterials as diagnostic and immunotherapauetic agents. Since, antimicrobial resistance is becoming a major apprehension worldwide, nanomedicines offer an intriguing and promising solution for combating these high resistance pathogens by appropriate development of therauptic and novel diagnosis approaches. This mini review presents the current state of art in this emerging field.

纳米生物膜治疗:综述
侵袭性念珠菌感染的高毒性、低宿主耐受性、抗真菌药物谱窄以及唑类耐药发生率增加使其治疗复杂化。由于抗菌素耐药性的出现对全球卫生保健构成了日益严重的威胁,因此需要开发新的有效的广谱活性抗真菌剂。因此,了解和对抗白色念珠菌的耐药性是当今面临的最严峻的挑战,开发一种可以抑制植入物和导管等医疗设备上生物膜形成的替代涂层非常重要。此外,纳米材料的迷人特性和生物相容性在纳米医学,特别是在医学微生物学方面具有巨大的应用潜力。通过对这些合成材料进行适当的修饰,可以治愈几种疾病感染,并且结果表明这些纳米材料可以用作诊断和免疫治疗剂。由于抗菌素耐药性正在成为世界范围内的一个主要担忧,纳米药物通过适当发展治疗和新的诊断方法,为对抗这些高耐药性病原体提供了一个有趣和有前途的解决方案。这篇小型综述介绍了这一新兴领域的现状。
