Irradiation of these samples with a laser having a wavelength falling into the so called \u201ctherapeutic window\u201d of the near infrared region allows the reinforcement, in the timescale of minutes, of the classical antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles. We demonstrate how using the two actions allows for almost complete elimination of the population of two bacterial strains of representative Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano7010007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,6]],"date-time":"2017-01-06T10:08:12Z","timestamp":1483697292000},"page":"7","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":98,"title":["Bulk Surfaces Coated with Triangular Silver Nanoplates: Antibacterial Action Based on Silver Release and Photo-Thermal Effect"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Agnese","family":"D\u2019Agostino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0141-9201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelo","family":"Taglietti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Desando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7099-0650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcella","family":"Bini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maddalena","family":"Patrini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Pavia, Via Bassi 6, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Dacarro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Pavia, Via Bassi 6, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Cucca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5223-0233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piersandro","family":"Pallavicini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pietro","family":"Grisoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Drug Sciences, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 14, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3436","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.chemrev.5b00597","article-title":"The Next Generation of Platinum Drugs: Targeted Pt(II) Agents, Nanoparticle Delivery, and Pt(IV) Prodrugs","volume":"116","author":"Johnstone","year":"2016","journal-title":"Chem.
