Abstract: “Two-faced” amphiphilic Janus nanoparticles that have different surface chemistries on two hemispheres. One hemisphere of the Janus nanoparticles is functionalized with a hydrophobic moiety. The other hemisphere of the nanoparticles is functionalized with either a cationic antibiotic or cationic polymer. Janus nanoparticles effectively inhibit the growth of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria at picomolar concentrations and may be used as a broad-spectrum antibiotic on surfaces or to treat bacterial infections in patients.
