old-silver core-shell nanoparticles stabilized with a common sweetener, aspartame (AuNP@Ag@Asm) combine the antimicrobial properties of silver with photoinduced plasmonmediated photothermal effects of gold. The particles were tested with several bacterial strains, while biocompatibility was verified with human dermal fibroblasts.
