The rise of antibiotic resistance has caused the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections to be less effective. Therefore, researchers turn to nanomedicine for novel and effective antibacterial therapeutics. The effort resulted in the first‐generation antibacterial nanoparticles featuring the ability to improve drug tolerability, circulation half‐life, and efficacy. Toward developing the next‐generation antibacterial nanoparticles, researchers have integrated design elements that emphasize physical, broad‐spectrum, biomimetic, and antivirulence mechanisms. This review highlights four emerging antibacterial nanoparticle designs: inorganic antibacterial nanoparticles, responsive antibacterial nanocarriers, virulence nanoscavengers, and antivirulence nanovaccines. Examples in each design category are selected and reviewed, and their structure–function relationships are discussed. These emerging designs open the door to nontraditional antibacterial nanomedicines that rely on mechano‐bactericidal, function‐driven, nature‐inspired, or virulence‐targeting mechanisms to overcome antibiotic resistance for more effective antibacterial therapy.
