ABSTRACT
Microbiology and nanomaterial sciences have contributed to science and technology by developing innovative solutions for the healthcare, environmental, and agricultural sectors. Moreover, because repeated utilization of antibiotics has resulted in MDR (multiple drug resistance) in microorganisms and the delivery of metal nanoparticles affects the food chain, it is now strongly recommended to develop interdisciplinary approaches combining microbiology and nanomaterials to combat secondary human health, environmental, and ecological damage. Nanotechnology impacts various areas of microbiology, including medical/health, food, and environmental. It enables the investigation and observation of a process at the molecular assembly level. The logical use of various areas in a synergistic manner yields new and long-term solutions. This chapter focuses on the link between nanomaterials and microbiological disciplines, emphasizing the enormous potential that may be realized through interdisciplinary study.
