N2 - In the face of escalating threats posed by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to global health, this chapter explores the pivotal role of nanomedicine as a promising solution. Delving into the dynamic landscape of nanoscale interventions, the chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities inherent in leveraging nanomedicine to combat AMR. With its unique capability to manipulate matter at the nanoscale, nanomedicine opens unprecedented avenues for creative responses to tackle the complexities of AMR. The chapter meticulously examines various classifications of nanosystems designed to address AMR, encompassing nanomaterials with intrinsic antimicrobial capabilities, nanocarriers for precise drug administration, and the synergistic effects of nanosystems in tandem with antibiotics. Acknowledging the intricacies of the battle against AMR, the chapter candidly discusses the hurdles faced by nanomedicine in this endeavor. Despite these challenges, an optimistic outlook per- vades the narrative, underscoring the potential of nanomedicine to contribute significantly to the fight against AMR. This chapter not only provides a compelling overview of the evolving role of nanomedicine in overcoming AMR but also invites readers to consider the fascinating opportunities presented by this transformative field. It encourages active engagement in the global effort to combat AMR, painting a vivid picture of a future where nanomedicine serves as a powerful ally in safeguarding lives against drug-resistant infections.
