Abstract

Antibiosis is the antagonism caused by the toxicity of secondary metabolites produced by the microorganisms. Our understanding of microbiology has improved as a result of research on antibiosis and its role in antibiotics. Nowadays Major bacterial diseases are becoming more resistant to standard antibiotic treatments, and multidrug-resistant bacteria are emerging at an alarming rate. High rates of morbidity and mortality are a challenge caused by antibiotic resistance in bacterial infections hence it is essential to synthesize and introduce new antimicrobial agents. Many studies have reported that Carbon Dots (CDs) show useful functions in antibiotic, antitumor, and antiviral activities. In this chapter several CD-based structures and their effects on antibacterial resistant bacteria's have been investigated. © 2023 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
