Bacterial infections lead to high oxidative stress due to production of reactive oxygen species like H2O2 and ONOO- inducing cell damage and death. ROS are a short-lived species making direct, precise and real time measurements difficult. Ag+ is a known bactericidal, disrupting metabolism and disulfide bond formation. In this work we synthesized a thernostic nanoparticle that can measure ROS concentrations and release Ag+ in the presence of ROS. The iodide-doped gold/silver hybrid nanoparticle is 10X more sensitive to H2O2 as compared to silver coated gold nanorods.
