Abstract

Bacterial biofilms pose a significant clinical challenge due to their intrinsic resistance to antibiotics and immune clearance. Traditional systemic antibiotic therapies are often ineffective against the structured microbial communities, emphasizing the urgent need for localized and targeted drug delivery systems. Hydrogels are three-dimensional, water-rich polymeric networks, and have emerged as a versatile platform for localized delivery of antimicrobial agents, offering controlled release, biocompatibility and the potential for functionalization with bioactive components. This review explor
