It is now possible to build materials atom by atom and impose desired characteristics for numerous applications in almost every area, such as composite materials development, electronics, nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), biomedical technologies, renewable energy solutions and environmental remediation (Navya & Daima, 2016 Nanomaterials are classified into nine major groups based on their shape, size, composition, surface charge, aggregation and chemical nature. However, due to instances where the frequent use of drugs has led to antibiotic/multidrug resistance in microorganisms, and the delivery of metal nanoparticles is impacting the food chain, it is now necessary to develop interdisciplinary approaches combining Microbiology and Nanotechnology to combat secondary human health, and environmental and ecological damage. ./cache/cord-333228-ejkgune0.txt ./txt/cord-333228-ejkgune0.txt
