Abstract

Expression of concern for ‘Selective isolation and eradication of E. coli associated with urinary tract infections using anti-fimbrial modified magnetic reduced graphene oxide nanoheaters’ by Fatima Halouane et al., J. Mater. Chem. B, 2017, 5, 8133–8142, https://doi.org/10.1039/C7TB01890H.


The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the data. The Royal Society of Chemistry has asked the University of Lille to investigate this matter. An expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until we receive conclusive evidence regarding the reliability of the reported data.
