Aims: The appearance of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is a serious problem in medical
treatment. Thus, it is imperative to explore new therapeutic approaches and antibiotics with …

Photothermal treatment, a new approach for inactivation of bacteria and pathogens that
does not depend on traditional therapeutic approaches, has recently received much …

In recent years, infection caused by drug-resistant bacteria has become a serious public
health problem. The exploration of antibacterial therapies other than antibiotics has attracted …

Building a novel and efficient photothermal antibacterial nanoplatform is a promising
strategy for precise bacterial elimination. Herein, a nanocomposite NiO NPs@ AuNPs@ Van …

Antibiotics are currently the main therapeutic agent for bacterial infections, but they have led
to bacterial resistance, which has become a worldwide problem that needs to be addressed …

Magnetic nanoparticles based on iron oxides (MNPs-Fe) have been proposed as
photothermal agents (PTAs) within antibacterial photothermal therapy (PTT), aiming to …

Cancer remains as a top leading cause of death for decades. Thus, efforts have been
devoted in exploring effective therapeutic methods of treating patients suffering from the …

Injudicious use of antibiotics has been the main driver of severe bacterial non-susceptibility
to commonly available antibiotics (known as drug resistance or antimicrobial resistance), a …

Aims: We demonstrate a photokilling approach for pathogenic bacteria using magnetic
nanoparticles as photokilling nanoprobes. Materials & methods: The nanoprobes are …

A study was conducted to demonstrate the use of Fe 3 O 4@ Au nanoeggs, as photothermal
agents for selective killing of nosocomial and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The study …
