Microwave-Assisted Synthesized ZnO@APTES Quantum Dots Exhibits Potent Antibacterial Efficacy Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Without Inducing Resistance
In summary, we have synthesized a highly effective water-soluble ZnO@APTES QDs that shows strong antibacterial and therapeutic efficacy against MRSA and other bacteria. The ZnO@APTES QDs holds significant potential for development as a new treatment agent for combating antibiotic-resistant infections.
