Article Synopsis
- - Drug-resistant infections are a major medical challenge, and while adaptive lab evolution helps anticipate these issues, it has limitations; novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) aim to address this.
- - Multi-stimuli responsive DDSs target specific bacterial infection sites by exploiting the acidic conditions of infected tissues, facilitating more effective drug delivery and pathogen elimination.
- - Recent advancements in nano-drug delivery systems (nDDSs) improve the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments by targeting and delivering drugs directly to bacterial biofilms, while also exploring new methods like immune modulation and photothermal therapy for enhanced treatment options.
The hazardous risk posed by industrial effluent discharge into the ecosystem has raised a plethora of environmental issues, public health, and safety concerns. The effluents from industries such as tanning, leather, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and textiles are create significant stress on the aquatic ecosystem, which induces significant toxicity, involved in endocrine disruptions, and inhibits reproductive functions. Therefore, this review presented an overall abridgment of the effects of these effluents and their ability to synergize with modern pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetic chemicals, nanoparticles, and heavy metals.
