Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is becoming a big challenge in almost all the fields especially against soil microflora. With the advent and spread of emerging metallic nanomaterials (MNPs), it is important to elucidate the optimistic and adverse impacts on plants and soil microflora along with the positive use of antibiotics. It is well known that green synthesis of nanomaterials has antimicrobial properties and cytotoxic to the harmful bacteria and enhances the properties of antibiotics, but applications of nanomaterials in the soil environment is a big interrogation due to their inhibitory effects on plant’s growth enzymes and plant’s beneficial bacteria. Impacts of nanomaterials in combination with antibiotics and their role on plant growth-promoting bacteria have been discussed in this chapter. Further, the use of nanomaterials in soil, their role in sorption by plants, their access to food web, and impacts on human health are critically discussed. Finally, some more studies regarding a missing gap for the use of MNPs against plant’s beneficial bacteria are recommended.
