Photographs of bacterial colonies against E. coli (A) and S. aureus (B) with different treatments. Relative survival rate of E. coli (C) and S. aureus (D) upon different treatments determined by spread plate method. n  =  3 biologically independent samples (C, D). Data are presented as mean values  ±  SD (C, D). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Turkey’s multiple comparisons test (C, D), ns represents no statistical difference, *P < 0.01. **P < 0.001. ***P < 0.0001. ****P < 0.0001. CLSM images of E. coli (E) and S. aureus (F) co-stained with Syto9 and PI after incubating with different treatments. Scale bar: 50 μm. (a) PBS, (b) V2O5 powder, (c) V2O5 nanobelt, (d) MgVO, (e) CaVO, (f) SrVO, (g) H2O2, (h) V2O5 powder + H2O2, (i) V2O5 nanobelt + H2O2, (j) MgVO + H2O2, (k) CaVO + H2O2, (l) SrVO + H2O2. Representative images are shown from three independent experiments with similar results (E, F).
