Bioactive materials have a wide range of applications, and bioactive materials with antibacterial properties, in particular, have attracted significant medical interest. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria due to the uncontrolled, immoderate, and multiple use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutics is a serious threat to the world population, as antibiotic-resistant microorganisms cause life-threatening diseases in humans.
