Pertaining to the imminent problem of antibiotics resistance, and in turn the urgent need for new antibiotics, it is vital to generate new compounds that are effective against resistant species. For this, we have aimed to develop enhanced antibacterial compounds by merging antibiotics with nanomaterials to strengthen their activity. Hence, kanamycin‐stabilized gold, silver, and copper nanoclusters (NCs) were synthesized and investigated for their antibacterial activity. It was seen that the gold and silver NCs had increased antibacterial activity, especially against Escherichia coli, with an average decrease in the MIC for 4:1 for the silver and 2:1 for the gold NCs. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium was also increased, more significantly for the silver NCs. However, for the copper NCs, enhanced activity was not witnessed. Thus, it can be concluded that incorporating nanoclusters, especially gold and silver, with antibiotic ligands can enhance their antimicrobial activity.
