Garlic-Based Nanomaterials to Combat Drug-Resistant Infections
Green nanotechnology is an expanding field that promises innovative nanoparticle drug formulations with enhanced bioactivity. In a recent breakthrough, researchers at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University synthesized a mesoporous metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) using Allium sativum (garlic) to create a nanocomposite with significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. This novel approach leverages garlic’s well-documented antimicrobial effects to…
