A live bacteria SERS platform for the in situ monitoring of nitric oxide release from a single MRSA†
Abstract
A simple and unique surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform is developed for the precise and sensitive in situ monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) release from an individual bacterium. Using this live bacteria SERS platform, NO release from MRSA under the stress of antibiotics and co-infected bacteria was evaluated.
