Synergistic photothermal effect and nanoenzyme for efficient antibacterial activity
The continuous emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has become a serious threat to human and animal health.Developing new non-antibiotic therapeutic drugs with high efficiency and low resistance is a promising strategy for combating drug-resistant bacteria.Here,a novel composite structure based on a hollow metal-organic framework(MOF)wrapped Au nanorod and loaded Pt nanoparticles(Au NR@H-ZIF-8@Pt)is designed for combating drug-resistant bacteria.The Au NR@H-ZIF-8@Pt composite structures serve a twofold purpose:(1)showing superior photothermal conversion effi-ciency under near-infrared light irradiation,thus achieving an antibacterial effect based on photothermal effect,and(2)ex-hibiting high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity,and effec-tively killing bacteria by reactive oxygen species(ROS)generated in situ.By combining photothermal and catalytic effects for in vitro antibacterial experiments,Au NR@H-ZIF-8@Pt exhibits efficient,rapid,broad-spectrum antibacterial activity(99.7%for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 98.3%for Staphylococcus aureus).In addition,in vivo experiments further demonstrate the advantages of the material in pro-moting bacterial infection wound healing.This study not only facilitates the design of novel biological nanomaterials,but also provides new ideas for combating drug-resistant bacteria.
