Water-soluble PANI:PSS designed for spontaneous non-disruptive membrane penetration and direct intracellular photothermal damage on bacteria

Water-soluble PANI:PSS designed for spontaneous non-disruptive membrane penetration and direct intracellular photothermal damage on bacteria

The major challenge in the field of antibacterial agents is to overcome the low-permeability of bacteria cell membranes that protects the cells against diverse drugs. In this work, water-soluble polyaniline (PANI)-poly (p-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSS) (PANI:PSS) is found to spontaneously penetrate bac...
