Photographs of the growth of Escherichia coli incubated with sterilized water (control) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)@1/3 gold nanorods (AuNRs), MoS2@1/2AuNRs, and MoS2@AuNRs on LB agar plates after NIR laser, visible light, or both NIR laser and visible light irradiation. The antibacterial rate of the control was set to 0% for each type of irradiation.
