Abstract:Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is abundant in nature and frequently leads to various health issues. Bacteriophages as obligate intracellular parasites of bacteria have the ability to specifically identify and infect S. aureus, causing bacterial lysis and the release of endogenous catalase (CAT). The released CAT triggers the conversion of H 2 O 2 into O 2 and H 2 O, resulting in a notable decrease in UV absorption at 570 nm and a concurrent surge in photocurrent. On the basis of this, a photoelectrochemical… Show more
