In the advent of the post-antibiotic era, new strategies are urgently required to improve the efficacy of antimicrobials and outsmart multi-drug resistant bacteria. Exploiting a basic survival mechanism of bacteria, lipase production, monoolein liquid crystal nanoparticles (MO-LCNPs) were investigated as
