Swift developments in nanotechnology have prominently encouraged innovative
discoveries across many fields. Carbon-based nanomaterials have emerged as
promising platforms for a broad range of applications due to their unique
mechanical, electronic, and biological properties. Carbon nanostructures (CNSs)
such as fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and diamond-like carbon
(DLC) have been demonstrated to have potent broad-spectrum antibacterial
activities toward pathogens. In order to ensure the safe and effective
integration of these structures as antibacterial agents into biomaterials, the
specific mechanisms that govern the antibacterial activity of CNSs need to be
understood, yet it is challenging to decouple individual and synergistic
contributions of physical, chemical and electrical effects of CNSs on cells. In
this article, recent progress in this area is reviewed, with a focus on the
interaction between different families of carbon nanostructures and
microorganisms to evaluate their bactericidal performance.
