Abstract:

At present, tuberculosis (TB) treatment still faces serious challenges. Traditional drug therapy has brought various issues, such as long treatment time, poor patient compliance, and low bioavailability. Especially, the emergence of drug-resistance seriously affects the effectiveness of treatment. However, the emergence of nanomaterials can overcome current problems in the treatment of TB, change treatment approaches, and thus improve treatment effect. Based on this, this article reviews the latest research progress of nanomaterials in the treatment of TB, classifies and discusses the functions of nanomaterials in the treatment process, briefly describes the nanomaterials used for direct treatment, focuses on nanomaterials used for drug delivery, and discusses the latest phototherapy nanomaterials. Finally, a summary and outlook are provided on the challenges faced by nanomaterials and their future development.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Nanoparticles, Anti-bacterial agents, Drug carriers, Phototherapy
