Delivery of antibacterial silver nanoclusters to Pseudomonas aeruginosa using species-specific DNA aptamers.

Conclusion. Using P. aeruginosa as a model, we show that targeting of DNA-scaffolded silver nanoclusters with an aptamer has effective fast-acting antimicrobial activity in vitro and in an in vivo animal model.
