Abstract:

Silver nanoplates, as SERS-active cores, were encapsulated by silica shell and modified with porphyrin-vancomycin(Por-Van) molecules to prepare AgNPl@SiO2-Por-Van composite. The Por-Van molecules conjugated on the AgNPl@SiO2 core/shell nanostructure were applied for surface enhanced raman scattering(SERS) detection and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy(aPDT) of Vancomycin resistant enterococci(VRE) strains. Results for in vitro bacterial SERS imaging revealed that the core/shell nanostructure highly enhanced specific binding affinity towards VRE bacteria. Meanwhile, excellent bactericidal effect was also obtained through in vitro and in vivo photodynamic therapy studies. Therefore, the AgNPl@SiO2-Por-Van indicated high possibility for applications in theranostics towards VRE bacteria, integrating SERS imaging and aPDT.
