Enhanced antibacterial activity of carbon dots functionalized with ampicillin combined with visible light triggered photodynamic effects
Open accessAbstract
In the last years, carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention in a wide range of fields, particularly in biomedicine, owing to their remarkable photo-physical and chemical properties. In this study, we demonstrate that amine-terminated carbon dots (CDs-NH2) functionalized with ampicillin (AMP) offer a new perspective for antibacterial treatment. The amine-functionalized carbon dots were used as a carrier for immobilization and delivery of ampicillin (CDs-AMP) and as a visible light-triggered antibacterial material. Additionally, AMP immobilization on the CDs-NH2 surface improves its stability in solution as compared to free AMP. The AMP conjugated CDs platform combines the antibacterial function of AMP and conserves the intrinsic theranostic properties of CDs-NH2. Therefore, the AMP immobilized onto CDs-NH2 surface together with the generation of moderate quantities of reactive oxygen species under visible light illumination are very effective to inactivate the growth of Escherichia coli.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
