In addition, NPs free in the cytosol may later end up again in intracellular vesicles through auto-phagocytosis [74]. Thus, for many applications, such as intracellular sensing or drug delivery

• which IgG molecules are bound in the wrong orientation (in relation to normal antibody function). Thus, bacteria are disrupted by opsonization [10] and phagocytosis [11]. In this regard, the aim of our work was the development of an AFM method to specifically label Staphylococcus aureus, which bears
