Aptamer-gates caused a specific decrease in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of vancomycin for Staphylococcus aureus when mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were used for bacteria-targeted delivery.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPathogensArticle10.1039/c5cc01869b514084928495258914722-s2.0-84928975142Q1WOS:000354043200024Q2
