Abstract

Selective Bactericidal Effect Gold nanoparticles decorated with polyoxometalates hyperpolarize bacteria cells to result in membrane cell wall disruption and leakage of intracellular moieties, thus leading to bacteria death but with low cytotoxicity to human cells. In article number 2305169, Santiago Reinoso, Ismael Pellejero, Gracia Mendoza, and co-workers demonstrate that the novel Au@GeMoTi hybrid composite exhibits outstanding and selective bactericidal effect with a minimum inhibitory concentration of just 3.12 μM for E. coli.
