Research Abstract

Photothermal treatment of graphene oxide (GO) for antibacterial, antifungal and controlling the wound infection treatment using near infrared laser (NIR, Nd-YAG (λ = 1064 nm) were reported. Various pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis) were investigated. The cytotoxicity was measured using the proteomic analysis by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), optical density (OD600), standard microdilution procedures, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and epifluorescence microscopy. The laser mediated the surface activation of GO offer high efficiency for antifungal and antibacterial. Wide broad cells with various instruments approved that graphene oxide is promising material for nanomedicine in the near future.
