 Carbon-based nanomaterials such as fullerines, CNTs, especially SWCNTs, and GONE nanoparticles have shown potent antimicrobial properties due to their direct contact with microorganisms, which affects their cellular membrane integrity, metabolic processes, and morphology. The high surface-slash-volume ratio, large inner volume, and unique chemical and physical properties of carbon-based nanostructures make them promising for future investigation in antimicrobial activity. Functionalized carbon nanomaterials can also be used as carriers for ordinary antibiotics to decrease resistance, enhance bioavailability, and provide targeted delivery.
