The bacterial contaminated glove is the most important cause of bacteria transmission in health care and food industries. Manufacturing antimicrobial latex seems as a possible solution to prevent these contaminations. Due to bacterial drug resistance new effective antimicrobial drugs must be developed. Great progresses on nanoparticle-based antimicrobial latex requires to consider the shared interest between microbiologists and nanoengineers in developing novel nanotechnology targeting a few major unmet challenges of antimicrobial agents. The current review focuses on antimicrobial agents and also nanoparticles with antimicrobial properties have been discussed. Moreover antimicrobial latex and its biomedical applications have been reviewed.

Nanotechnology has become one of the most important fields in science. Nanoparticles exhibit unique chemical, physical and electronic properties that are different from those of bulk materials, due to their small size and better architecture. Nanoparticles can be used to construct novel sensing devices; in particular electrochemical sensors. Electrochemical detection is highly attractive for the monitoring of glucose, cancer cells, cholesterol and infectious diseases. Unique nanocomposite-based films proposed in this book open new doors to the design and fabrication of high-performance electrochemical sensors.
