Function-adaptive clustered nanoparticles reverse Streptococcus mutans dental biofilm and maintain microbiota balance

Function-adaptive clustered nanoparticles reverse Streptococcus mutans dental biofilm and maintain microbiota balance

Ostadhossein et al. propose an antibiotic-free strategy to disrupt the biofilm by utilizing nanoparticles designed to function in the acidic environment of the biofilms. Phophonium ions functionalised carbon dot nanoclusters in a pH-sensitive polymer shell display dental biofilm inhibition without d...
