Antibiotic-resistant infections (ARIs) are a growing public health threat, and nanomaterial-based medicines present a solution due to their unique method of action that is unlikely to develop an evolutionary defense. We synthesize biodegradable, non-toxic bornite nanocrystals (NCs) that possess an LSPR peak at 1100nm. We coat these NCs with a generalized targeting peptide and demonstrate their lethality to multiple bacteria species. Finally, we show that these particles degrade in vitro and are non-toxic to mammalian cells at a high concentrations, showing the potential of these NCs as antibacterial agents.
