Abstract

Perovskites can be used to develop new drugs and materials to combat antimicrobial resistance. These materials are useful in the field of biomedicine due to their chemical properties. They can also be used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Researchers are investigating the fate and behavior of perovskites in the environment to assess any potential risks and develop appropriate disposal and recycling methods. Perovskite materials have emerged as a new class of antimicrobial agents with potential applications in various fields. Their unique crystal structure, synthesis methods, and mechanisms of antimicrobial activity make them promising alternatives or add-on agents to conventional antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial activity of perovskites presents new opportunities for addressing the challenges posed by antimicrobial resistance. Continued research and development efforts are necessary to optimize perovskite synthesis, enhance their stability, evaluate their toxicity, and explore their practical applications in healthcare, water purification, food preservation, textiles, and environmental remediation. In summary, the antimicrobial activity of perovskite materials holds great promise in combating infectious diseases and addressing the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Continued research and technological advancements in this field can contribute to the development of effective and sustainable antimicrobial strategies.
