Resumen :
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) is a growing global health threat, leading to the search
for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Phytochemicals, which are naturally occurring
compounds found in plants, have shown potential as antimicrobial agents; however, therapy
with these agents has certain limitations. The use of nanotechnology combined with antibacterial
phytochemicals could help achieve greater antibacterial capacity against ARB by providing improved
mechanical, physicochemical, biopharmaceutical, bioavailability, morphological or release properties.
This review aims to provide an updated overview of the current state of research on the use of
phytochemical-based nanomaterials for the treatment against ARB, with a special focus on polymeric
nanofibers and nanoparticles. The review discusses the various types of phytochemicals that have
been incorporated into different nanomaterials, the methods used to synthesize these materials, and
the results of studies evaluating their antimicrobial activity. The challenges and limitations of using
phytochemical-based nanomaterials, as well as future directions for research in this field, are also
considered here. Overall, this review highlights the potential of phytochemical-based nanomaterials
as a promising strategy for the treatment against ARB, but also stresses the need for further studies to
fully understand their mechanisms of action and optimize their use in clinical settings
