Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are promising therapeutic agent due to their pro-oxidant, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer properties when exposed to visible light irradiation. Oxidative stress in bacteria is the main reason for bacteria death after exposure to blue light photoexcited quantum dots. Herein, we present the antibacterial activities of hydrophobic carbon quantum dots/polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposites, hydrophilic citric acid CQDs, and combinations of CQDs with methylene blue.

- The bacterium Bartonella was found in various species of fruit bats and their insect ectoparasites, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World.
- The Egyptian fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus, is widespread across Africa and parts of Asia, with specific strains of Bartonella identified in populations from Nigeria, Kenya, and Zambia.
- Recent studies on bat flies from the Egyptian fruit bats in the Middle East revealed that a significant number of ectoparasites tested positive for Bartonella, indicating a connection between the bacteria and the diversity of the bats' hosts.
