 This study investigates the use of a polypyrrole carbon nanocomposite, PPYC, for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA. The PPYC was found to be effective against MRSA when exposed to near infrared light, resulting in a significant decrease in cell viability and biofilm formation. This suggests that PPYC could potentially be used as a photothermal absorber for the treatment of MRSA. This article was authored by Nalufa Behzadpour, Neda Akbari, and Nama Saturamadi.
