The purpose of this qualitative approach study is to promote bismuth nanoparticle research for multipurpose nanomedicine- related applications. Bismuth compounds are identified for their activities against cancer diseases, microorganisms, and tuberculosis diseases. However, bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) for antibiotic and antituberculosis activities remain scarcely explored [1]. Based on a methodological approach, this study used Scopus and WoS as advanced search engines to explore literature in support of BiNPs as promising antibacterial and antituberculosis agents In conclusion, the inclusion supported scarce results for BiNPs antibacterial and antitubercular activities. The significance of this study is the BiNPs awareness as cheap easy, green, and sustainable approaches for multipurpose nanomedicine-related applications [2]. The study is in support of the third United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). Keywords: Advanced search engines, Antibacterial nanomaterials; Antitubercular nanomaterials; Bismuth nanoparticles awareness; Multipurpose nanomedicine.
