ABSTRACT

Untreated or persistent wounds have a detrimental impact on patient well-being and place a substantial strain on global public health. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are pivotal in impeding the healing of wounds. Ailments pose a significant hazard to human health. Inappropriate use of antibiotics can weaken the immune system and result in numerous negative effects on the human body. Antibacterial agents based on nanomaterials represent a promising method to prevent infections and inhibit bacterial growth. Recent studies have emphasized molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as an exceptional member of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) due to its expansive surface area, strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption, high biocompatibility, and low toxicity towards cells. MoS₂-based nanomaterials have displayed efficacy in inhibiting bacterial growth across various systems. This review aims to present an outline of recent research on the antibacterial attributes of MoS₂-based nanomaterials, encompassing MoS₂ nanosheets, nanoflowers, cytotoxicity, innovative nanosystems, and quantum dots (QDs).
