Quantum dots can become an effective alternative of traditional antibiotics. Correct Answer True
QDs posses antimicrobial properties similar to nanoparticles. They can kill bacteria in a dose dependent manner. The mechanisms involved in killing the bacteria are inducing free radicals, disrupting cell walls, membranes and even arresting gene expression. QDs have been shown to be effective against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
