ABSTRACT
Conventional antibiotic therapies are becoming less efcient owing to the emergence of antibiotic-resistance bacterial strains. The development of novel antibacterial material to effectively inhibit or kill bacteria is crucial. During the last decade, inorganic nanoparticles and semiconductors have played an increasingly important role in combating bacterial infections. Graphene, since its discovery in 2004, has drawn tremendous attention from the scientic community as a promising nanomaterial (NM) owing to its multiple properties such as its unique mechanical stiffness, outstanding electronic transport, specic surface areas, thermal stability, conductivity, optical properties, low toxicity, and last but not the least, its excellent antibacterial property.
