Abstract

We discovered two antibacterial bimetallic nanoparticles (AuRh and AuRu NPs), that possess antibacterial activities against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria and can cure wound infections. None of the nanoparticles comprising just one of these metals elements shows any antibiotic activities.
