Photothermally active nanoparticles as a promising tool for eliminating bacteria and biofilms

Photothermally active nanoparticles as a promising tool for eliminating bacteria and biofilms

Bacterial contamination is a severe issue that affects medical devices, hospital tools and surfaces. When microorganisms adhere to a surface (e.g., medical devices or implants) they can develop into a biofilm, thereby becoming more resistant to conventional biocides and disinfectants. Nanoparticles...
