Caption
The left panel shows Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) with an asymmetric structure. The center and right panels present a schematic illustration (blue = viable cells) and photographs (turbidity = viable cells) of bacterial growth under conditions where the concentrations of antibiotics and JNPs are varied from high to low. In the absence of JNPs, bacteria are killed at an antibiotic concentration of 64 µg/mL. In contrast, the addition of JNPs markedly reduces the antibiotic concentration required for bacterial killing. Higher JNP concentrations further decrease the antibiotic concentration needed to eliminate bacteria (green arrows).
