Abstract
). The antibacterial mechanism of the N,S-CDs was investigated. The results indicated that the antibacterial activity was due to the membrane damage of the bacteria by the N,S-CDs. Besides, the N,S-CDs showed negligible lytic effects on human erythrocytes. These findings will inspire further exploitation of CD-based nano-bactericides in biomedical applications.
