Inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus α-Hemolysin Production Using Nanocurcumin Capped Au@ZnO Nanocomposite

Figure 9

The prepared NPs inhibit the invasion of S. aureus to REF cells. (a) Control REF cells. (b) REF, infected with S. aureus. The REF cells were pretreated with NPs and then infected with S. aureus. The treatment groups were as follows: (c) with ZnO NPs, (d) with Cur-NPs, (e) with Au NPs, (f) with Au@ZnO NPs, and (g) with Cur-Au@ZnO NPs. Magnification power 400x.
