Nanomaterials usually kill bacteria via multiple mechanisms which are not explicit to the same degree as those of conventional antibiotics. This situation may hinder the development of novel nanoscale antibiotics. Here, we present aminophenol (AP) to modify gold nanoparticles (AP_Au NPs) which show...
