Methods and materials
1.1 Characterization of AP
Synthesis of antibacterial peptide (Periplanetasin-4, LRHKVYGYCVLGP-NH2) used Fmoc-protected solid-phase synthesis. The Fmoc-protected amino acid is used as a monomer. DIC is used as a catalyst. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was used for separation and purification of AP. The liquid-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS, LCMS-8030, Thermo) to analyze molecular weight of AP.1.2 Photographs of the inhibition zone test
The antibacterial activities of the Ap-CdSe NPs were evaluated qualitatively by the modified agar disk diffusion method that was recommended. Approximately 106
CFU/mL was inoculated on modified LB. Filter papers with a diameter of 1.5 cm sucked with AP-CdSe NPs (40 µg/mL) suspension were placed on the surface of seeded agar plate. After 4 h of incubation at 37 °C, the diameters of the inhibition zones were measured and optical images of the plates were taken. AP solution (40 µg/mL) and CdSe NPs solution (40 µg/mL) were set as control group. The PBS was set as blank group.

Figure S8 Photographs of the inhibition zone in cultures of MDR E. coil and S. aureus after treatment with AP-CdSe NPs (40 µg/mL). AP solution (40 µg/mL) and CdSe NPs solution (40 µg/mL) were set as control group. The PBS was set as blank group.
Figure S9. Fluorescence microscopy images of MDR E. coli and MDR S. aureus bacterial culture
treated with AP-CdSe NPs at 10 µg/mL and at various time (1 hour and 3 hour). Cells were stained
with DAPI for 30 min are fluorescent blue, and those stained with AP-CdSe NPs are fluorescent
red, while those with fluorescent pink color appearance represent merged images of cells.
Fluorescence images were captured using an UV illuminator with a 365 nm emission filter for AP-
CdSe NPs and a 461 nm emission filters for DAPI. Scale bar = 10 μm.
