Antibiotic resistance is one of the major issues in the medical field and a potential threat to human health. However, newly emerging antimicrobial compounds failed to combat antimicrobial resistance developed by bacterial pathogens. Recently, a bismuth-based complex has been developed to eradicate antimicrobial-resistant microorganism infections. The complex is known as organobismuth (III) phosphinate, which is said to be a potential broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. This complex has been incorporated into the nanocellulose suspension to fabricate a biomedical composite for various applications. The composite can be fabricated by two methods namely vacuum filtration and spray coating. In this paper, the surface and topography of the composite are investigated and discussed in terms of SEM micrographs and their antimicrobial potential. This review focuses on the organo-bismuth nanocellulose composite and its biomedical application in the future.
