Abstract

The development of antibiotic resistant superbugs poses significant threat to global healthcare. With the overuse of antibiotic medication over time, these superbugs have evolved to fight the effects of pharmacological therapies causing death to patients with easily treatable infections. For this reason, research has shifted towards investigating ways in which infection can be cured without antibiotic medication. Research has found that some nanostructured materials have been found to exhibit antibacterial behaviours either through antibiofouling or bactericidal (killing) mechanisms. These nanostructures have an inherent property which repels or kills bacteria upon physical contact, without the need for chemical therapy. This review gives a perspective on the current state of research which uses nanotechnology to fabricate antibacterial surfaces. In addition, this review presents various biosensing techniques for human biosensing and bacteria sensing, particularly for food and water borne pathogens. This review also discusses future directions for ways in which these two research areas can be combined to develop a nanosensing platform which detects bacteria in hospital environments, helping to reduce waiting times between sampling and detection, length of patient hospital stays, patient discomfort and burdens to the healthcare system, as well as control and contain the spread of infection in hospital environments.
