“…This is also be altered in wide varieties by varying molecular weight, G: M ratio, particle form, volume fraction, and cation availability. Researcher Edward Stanford first used alginates in 1883, and development at the commercial level commenced in 1927 [2,3]. Alginate production worldwide has now risen to about forty-one tonnes per annum.…”

Alginate is a polysaccharide that has found numerous applications in the domain of pharmaceutical science, paper and textile industry, food industry, dental applications, welding roads, mucoadhesive properties, scaffolding, biomedical and engineering due to its cost-effective nature, film forming ability, gelling, biocompatibility, biodegradability, nontoxic, non-immunogenic, readily availability, antimicrobial nature. Hydrogels of alginates play a crucial role in well-controlled or sustained release drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering. This book chapter will provide a detailed overview of Alginate and its applications. To the best of our knowledge there no such type of informative data is available on Alginate and its relation with drug susceptibility. Here we more focused on the antibiotic capability of Alginate and its association with bacterial resistance.
