Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance poses a critical threat to global health, as conventional drugs increasingly fail against multidrug-resistant pathogens. A key challenge lies in the inability of many antimicrobials to penetrate microbial membranes or act effectively against intracellular infections. Nanoparticles (NPs) offer a promising alternative due to their unique physicochemical properties and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Among these, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are especially notable for their low cytotoxicity and
effectiveness against resistant strains.
