A multipurpose 1DZnO nanoplatform to combat ampicillin-resistant E. coli
CFU/mL, demonstrating a proof-of-concept design for further development of optical biosensors. Afterwards, the moderate antibacterial activity of raw ZnO NWs under controlled conditions was confirmed by the presence of inhibition halos against ampr-E.coli, providing updated behavior on the effects of the interaction of nanowires with bacterial membranes. Finally, a biocompatible contact with mammalian HEK-293 cells was observed, highlighting its potential for broad applications in nanobiomedicine.
