Nanotheranostic technologies for sepsis. A) Carbon nanotube (CNT)‐enabled photothermal detection and therapy of bacteria. CNT selectively bind to bacteria surface and form nanoclusters. Following multipulse NIR laser irradiation bacterial cells are killed. Laser energy is converted into thermal energy owing to CNTs powerful near‐infrared absorbance. Reproduced with permission.^[166]Copyright 2007, Wiley Periodicals, LLC. B) PAFC/PTFL nanotheranostic platform for photoacoustic (PA) detection and photothermal (PT) treatment of circulating bacteria, taking advantage of optical, thermal and magnetic properties of gold (AuNPs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs).
