“…Klebsiella pneumoniae, an encapsulated Gram-negative bacterial strain, is widely found in the mouth, skin, and intestinal microbiota, but also in natural environments [118]. As it can cause both nosocomial and community-acquired pneumonia, Klebsiella pneumoniae is associated with high mortality rates in the bacteremia setting, mostly in the neonatal and infant populations [119]. The nanosystems developed by the authors of [103] proved no significant differences between patchouli, vanilla, and ylang-ylang EOs, exhibiting bioactivity mostly against Klebsiella pneumoniae adherence.…”

Essential oils (EOs) have attracted considerable interest in the past few years, with increasing evidence of their antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and insecticidal effects. However, as they are highly volatile, the administration of EOs to achieve the desired effects is challenging. Therefore, nanotechnology-based strategies for developing nanoscaled carriers for their efficient delivery might offer potential solutions. Owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, ability to target a tissue specifically, and primary structures that allow for the attachment of various therapeutics, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are an example of such nanocarriers that could be used for the efficient delivery of EOs for antimicrobial therapies. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the use of EOs as antibacterial agents when coupled with magnetite nanoparticles (NPs), emphasizing the synthesis, properties and functionalization of such NPs to enhance their efficiency. In this manner, systems comprising EOs and MNPs could offer potential solutions that could overcome the challenges associated with biofilm formation on prosthetic devices and antibiotic-resistant bacteria by ensuring a controlled and sustained release of the antibacterial agents.
