Bacteria are considered the major source of hospital-acquired nosocomial infections and patients are at a risk higher
did not discern a difference in bacteriaeradication with respect to the laser irradiation modality (continuous or pulsed).
A flexible patch capable of rapidly treating subcutaneous wound infections upon NIR light irradiation was fabricated [68]. This patch combined the photothermal properties of gold
].
Functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles can also be used for photothermally induced bacteriaeradication. It was demonstrated that the NIR-absorbing nanoparticles functionalized with recyclable iron oxide were capable of eliminating Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) quickly and
