Recent advances and prospects in nanomaterials for bacterial sepsis management

Abstract

Bacterial sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream and triggering an immune response, underscoring the importance of early recognition and prompt treatment. Nanomedicine holds promise for addressing sepsis through improved diagnostics, nanoparticle biosensors for detection and imaging, enhanced antibiotic delivery, combating resistance, and immune modulation. However, challenges remain in ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness before clinical implementation. Further research is needed to optimize design, efficacy, safety, and regulatory strategies for effective utilization of nanomedicines in bacterial sepsis diagnosis and treatment. This review highlights the significant potential of nanomedicines, including improved drug delivery, enhanced diagnostics, and immunomodulation for bacterial sepsis. It also emphasizes the need for further research to optimize design, efficacy, safety profiles, and address regulatory challenges to facilitate clinical translation.
