Abstract
is the MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration) maintaining a short incubation period of one hour. A simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly approach to synthesize multi-elemental doped CQDs would certainly cause the method to be used in future for diverse biological applications. As compared to the broadly used antibiotics, the developed CQDs have some added advantages including lower cytotoxicity, excellent photo-stability and high selectivity.
