Figure 7.
SEM images of S. aureus cells. The bacterial cultures were treated with MoS2-Van-FITC NPs at various concentrations (25, 50 and 100 µg/mL). The bacterial cultures treated with Van (1 µg/mL) and MoS2 NPs + NIR (100 µg/mL) served as control groups. PBS + NIR served as a blank group. The red squares indicate the enlarged regions. The blue area is the elemental analysis chart. The cells underwent NIR irradiation at 808 nm (1.5 W/cm2, 6 min).
