Abstract
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternatives of traditional antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria owing to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and low tendency to drug resistance. However, their therapeutic efficacy in vivo,
especially for infections in deep organs, is limited owing to their systemic toxicity and low bioavailability. Nanoparticles-based delivery systems offer a strategy to increase the therapeutic index of AMPs by preventing proteolysis, increasing the accumulation at infection sites, and reducing
toxicity. Herein, we will discuss the current progress of using nanoparticles as delivery vehicles for AMPs for the treatment of deep infections.Statement of significanceAntimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are rarely directly used to treat deep infections due to their systemic toxicity
and low bioavailability. This review summarizes recent progress that researchers employed nanoparticles-based delivery systems to deliver AMPs for the treatment of deep infections. Nanoparticles-based delivery systems offer a strategy to increase the therapeutic index of AMPs by preventing
proteolysis, increasing the accumulation at infection sites, and reducing toxicity. Especially, the development of intelligent nanocarriers can achieve selective activation and active target in the infectious sites, thus improving the therapeutic efficacy against bacterial infection and reducing
the toxicity against normal tissues.

Abstract
Infectious diseases associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria are ever-growing threats to public health. Effective treatment and detection methods of bacterial infections are in urgent demand. Herein, novel phototheranostic nanoagents (MoS2@HA-Ce6 nanosheets, MHC NSs) with hyaluronidase (HAase)-responsive fluorescence imaging (FLI) and photothermal/photodynamic therapy (PTT/PDT) functions were prepared. In this design, Ce6 is used as both a photosensitizer and a fluorescent probe, while MoS2 nanosheets (MoS2 NSs) serve as both a fluorescence quencher and a photothermal agent. Hyaluronic acid conjugated with Ce6 (HA-Ce6) was assembled on the surface of MoS2 NSs to form MHC NSs. Without the HAase secreted by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the fluorescence of Ce6 is quenched by MoS2 NSs, while in the presence of MRSA, HAase can degrade the HA and release Ce6, which restores the fluorescence and photodynamic activity of Ce6. The experimental results show that MHC NSs can fluorescently image the MRSA both in vitro and in vivo by HAase activation. Meanwhile, MHC NSs can serve as PTT/PDT dual-mode antibacterial agents for MRSA. In vitro antibacterial results show that MHC NSs can kill 99.97% MRSA under 635 nm and 785 nm laser irradiation. In vivo study further shows that MHC NSs can kill 99.9% of the bacteria in MRSA infected tissues in mice and prompt wound healing by combined PTT/PDT. This work provides novel HAase-responsive phototheranostic nanoagents for effective detection and treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistanceand biofilm formation are the main challenges of bacterial infectious diseases, and enhancing the permeability of drugs to biofilms may be a promising strategy. Herein, we constructed a cationic chitosan coated ruthenium dioxide nanozyme (QCS-RuO2@RBT, SRT NSs)。RuO2 nanosheets (RuO2 NSs) are modified with positively charged Quaternary ammonium-chitosan (QCS) to improve biocompatibility, and enhance the interaction between RuO2 nanozymes and bacterial membranes. An antibacterial drug, [Ru(bpy)2(tip)]2+ (RBT) can be loaded onto QCS-RuO2 by π-π stacking and hydrophobic interaction. SRT NSs exhibit NIR light enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity, thereby effectively fighting against planktonic bacteria and damaging biofilms. In the biofilm, extracellular DNA (eDNA) was cleaved by high levels of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) catalyzed by SRT NSs, thereby disrupting the rigid biofilm. In addition, in vivo studies demonstrate that SRT NSs can significantly rescue skin wound infections and the chronic lung infection in mice caused by P. aeruginosa, and hold the same therapeutic efficacy as first-line clinically anchored anti P. aeruginosa drug ciprofloxacin. Accordingly, the research work has realized the efficient production of ·OH, and the permeability of drugs to biofilms.it provides a promising response strategy for the management of biofilm-associated infections, including chronic lung infection.

Abstract
The rise of antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics (AMR) as a healthcare crisis has led to a tremendous social and economic impact, whose damage poses a significant threat to future generations. Current treatments either are less effective or result in further acquired resistance. At the same time, several new antimicrobial discovery approaches are expensive, slow, and relatively poorly equipped for translation into the clinical world. Therefore, the use of nanomaterials is presented as a suitable solution. In particular, this review discusses selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) as one of the most promising therapeutic agents based in the nanoscale to treat infections effectively. This work summarizes the latest advances in the synthesis of SeNPs and their progress as antimicrobial agents using traditional and biogenic approaches. While physiochemical methods produce consistent nanostructures, along with shortened processing procedures and potential for functionalization of designs, green or biogenic synthesis represents a quick, inexpensive, efficient, and eco-friendly approach with more promise for tunability and versatility. In the end, the clinical translation of SeNPs faces various obstacles, including uncertain in vivo safety profiles and mechanisms of action and unclear regulatory frameworks. Nonetheless, the promise possessed by these metalloid nanostructures, along with other nanoparticles in treating bacterial infections and slowing down the AMR crisis, are worth exploring.

Abstract
Nano-drug delivery systems (Nano-DDS) offer powerful advantages in drug delivery and targeted therapy for diseases. Compared to the traditional drug formulations, Nano-DDS can increase solubility, biocompatibility, and reduce off-targeted side effects of free drugs. However, they still have some disadvantages that pose a limitation in reaching their full potential in clinical use. Protein adsorption in blood, activation of the complement system, and subsequent sequestration by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) consequently result in nanoparticles (NPs) to be rapidly cleared from circulation. Therefore, NPs have low drug delivery efficiency. So, it is important to develop stealth NPs for reducing bio-nano interaction. In this review, we first conclude the interaction between NPs and biological environments, such as blood proteins and MPS, and factors influencing each other. Next, we will summarize the new strategies to reduce NPs protein adsorption and uptake by the MPS based on current knowledge of the bio-nano interaction. Further directions will also be highlighted for the development of biomimetic stealth nano-delivery systems by combining targeted strategies for a better therapeutic effect.

Abstract
A standardized regimen for addressing the adverse effects of bacterial keratitis on vision remains an intractable challenge due to poor epithelial penetration and a short corneal retention time. In this study, a new strategy is proposed to implement the direct transport of antibiotics to bacteria-infected corneas via topical administration of an epithelium-penetrable biodriven nanoplatform, thereby enabling the efficacious treatment of bacterial keratitis. The nanoplatforms were composed of amphiphilic glycopolymers containing boron dipyrromethene and boronic acid moieties with stable fluorescence characteristics and the ability to potentiate epithelial penetration deep into the cornea. The boronic acid-derived nanoplatforms enabled efficient cellular internalization through the high affinity of boric acid groups for the diol-containing bacterial cell wall, resulting in enhanced drug penetration and retention inside the pathogenic bacteria. The bacterial cells formed agglomerations after incorporating the nanoplatforms along with a special mechanism to release the encapsulated cargo in response to in situ bacteria. Compared with the drug alone, this smart system achieved enhanced bacterial mortality and attenuated inflammation associated with Staphylococcus aureus-induced keratitis in rats, demonstrating a paradigm for targeted ocular drug delivery and an alternative strategy for managing bacterial keratitis or other bacterial infections by heightening corneal permeability and transcorneal bioavailability.

Abstract
Bacterial infection especially caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria still endangers human life. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can effectively kill bacteria, and nanofiber-based PDT can effectively reduce damage to normal tissues. However, current photosensitizers coated on the surfaces of fibers would release to the wound, causing some side effects. And nanofibers prepared by traditional method exhibit poor adhesion on the wound, which severely reduces the PDT effect due to its short-range effect. Herein, core-shell curcumin composite nanofibers are prepared by in situ electrospinning method via a self-made portable electrospinning device. The obtained composite nanofibers show superior adhesiveness on different biological surface than that of traditional preparation method. Upon 808-nm irradiation, these composite nanofibers effectively produced singlet oxygen (1O2) without curcumin falling off. After these composite nanofibers' exposure to drug-resistant bacteria, they exhibit dual antibacterial behaviors and efficiently kill the drug-resistant bacteria. These dual antibacterial nanofiber membranes with excellent adhesiveness may benefit the application of wound infection as antibacterial dressing.

Abstract
Sensitive diagnosis and elimination of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections at an early stage remain paramount challenges. Herein, we present a gelatinase-responsive turn-on nanoprobe for in situ near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging and localized photothermal treatment (PTT) of in vivo methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. The designed nanoprobe (named AuNS-Apt-Cy) is based on gold nanostars functionalized with MRSA-identifiable aptamer and gelatinase-responsive heptapeptide linker (CPLGVRG)-cypate complexes. The AuNS-Apt-Cy nanoprobe is non-fluorescent in aqueous environments due to the fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the gold nanostar core and cypate dye. We demonstrate that the AuNS-Apt-Cy nanoprobe can achieve MRSA targeting and accumulation as well as gelatinase (overexpressed in MRSA environments)-responsive turn-on NIR fluorescence due to the cleavage of the CPLGVRG linker and localized in vitro PTT via a mechanism involving bacterial cell wall and membrane disruption. In vivo experiments show that the AuNS-Apt-Cy nanoprobe can enable rapid (1 h post-administration) and in situ turn-on NIR fluorescence imaging with high sensitivity (105 colony-forming units) in diabetic wound and implanted bone plate mouse models. Remarkably, the AuNS-Apt-Cy nanoprobe can afford efficient localized PTT of diabetic wound and implanted bone plate-associated MRSA infections under the guidance of turn-on NIR fluorescence imaging, showing robust capability for early diagnosis and treatment of in vivo MRSA infections. In addition, the nanoprobe exhibits negligible damage to surrounding healthy tissues during PTT due to its targeted accumulation in the MRSA-infected site, guaranteeing its excellent in vivo biocompatibility and solving the main bottlenecks that hinder the clinical application of PTT-based antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
Bacterial infections pose severe threats to global public health security. Developing antibacterial agents with both high efficiency and safety to handle this problem has become a top priority. Here, highly stable and effective polymer nanosheets have been constructed by the covalent co-assembly of a pillar[5]arene derivative and metalloporphyrin for photodynamic antibacterial therapy (PDAT). The monolayer nanosheets are strongly positively charged and thus capable of binding with Staphylococcus aureus (SA) through electrostatic interactions. Additionally, the nanosheets can be activated to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under white-light irradiation, and exhibit satisfactory antibacterial performance towards SA. More importantly, cell viability assays demonstrate that the nanosheets show little to no cytotoxicity impact on mammalian cells even when the concentrations are much higher than those employed in the antibacterial studies. The above results suggest that the polymer nanosheets could be an effective antibacterial agent to overcome bacterial infections and hold a broad range of potential applications in real life.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of infected wounds is steadily increasing, and so is the clinical as well as economic interest in effective therapies. These combine reduction of pathogen load in the wound with general wound management to facilitate the healing process. The success of current therapies is challenged by harsh conditions in the wound microenvironment, chronicity, and biofilm formation, thus impeding adequate concentrations of active antimicrobials at the site of infection. Inadequate dosing accuracy of systemically and topically applied antibiotics is prone to promote development of antibiotic resistance, while in the case of antiseptics, cytotoxicity is a major problem. Advanced drug delivery systems have the potential to enable the tailor-made application of antimicrobials to the side of action, resulting in an effective treatment with negligible side effects. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of treatment options for the therapy of infected wounds. In this context, a special focus is set on delivery systems for antimicrobials ranging from semi-solid and liquid formulations over wound dressings to more advanced carriers such as nano-sized particulate systems, vesicular systems, electrospun fibers, and microneedles, which are discussed regarding their potential for effective therapy of wound infections. Further, established and novel models and analytical techniques for preclinical testing are introduced and a future perspective is provided. ![]()

Abstract
Obstinate infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria severely threaten human health. And the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria increases the morbidity and mortality of patients, thus necessitating the development of innovative or alternative therapeutics. Here, a light-activated nanotherapeutic with broad-spectrum bacterial recognition is established as an antibiotic-free therapeutic agent against pathogens. The nanotherapeutic with external phenylboronic acid-based glycopolymers increases the stability and biocompatibility and shows the ability of bacterial recognition. Once irradiated with near-infrared light, this nanotherapeutic with high photothermal conversion efficiency disrupts the cytoplasmic membrane, thus killing bacterial cells. Importantly, it also eliminates the biofilms formed by both drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) effectively. Thus, this antibiotic-free nanotherapeutic with hypotoxicity offers a promising approach to fight increasingly serious antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Multiple drug resistance (MDR) in bacterial infections is developed with the abuse of antibiotics, posing a severe threat to global health. Tedizolid phosphate (TR-701) is an efficient prodrug of tedizolid (TR-700) against gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Herein, a novel drug delivery system: Red blood cell membrane (RBCM) coated TR-701-loaded polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) nanoparticles (RBCM-PLGA-TR-701NPs, RPTR-701Ns) was proposed. The RPTR-701Ns possessed a double-layer core-shell structure with 192.50 ± 5.85 nm in size, an average encapsulation efficiency of 36.63% and a 48 h-sustained release in vitro. Superior bio-compatibility was confirmed with red blood cells (RBCs) and HEK 293 cells. Due to the RBCM coating, RPTR-701Ns on one hand significantly reduced phagocytosis by RAW 264.7 cells as compared to PTR-701Ns, showing an immune escape effect. On the other hand, RPTR-701Ns had an advanced exotoxins neutralization ability, which helped reduce the damage of MRSA exotoxins to RBCs by 17.13%. Furthermore, excellent in vivo bacteria elimination and promoted wound healing were observed of RPTR-701Ns with a MRSA-infected mice model without causing toxicity. In summary, the novel delivery system provides a synergistic antibacterial treatment of both sustained release and bacterial toxins absorption, facilitating the incorporation of TR-701 into modern nanotechnology.

Abstract
In drug discovery and drug development, it is estimated that around 40% of commercialized and 90% of under-study drugs have inadequate pharmaceutical properties, severely impairing its therapeutic efficacy. Thus, there is a strong demand to find strategies to enhance the delivery of such drugs. Ionic liquids are a novel class of liquids composed of a combination of organic salts that are of particular interest alone or in combination with drug delivery systems. This review is focused on the recent efforts using ionic liquids in drug solubility, formulation and drug delivery with specific emphasis on nanotechnology. The latest developments using hybrid delivery systems obtained upon the combination of drug delivery systems and ionic liquids will also be addressed.

Abstract
In order to overcome treatment difficulty of S. aureus infections, a pH/hyaluronidase dual responsive enrofloxacin-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion complexes (IC) containing hyaluronic acid/chitosan (HA/CS) self-assemble composite nanosystems covered by poloxamer 188 (F68) was firstly explored for targeted "on-demand" delivery. The FTIR, DSC and PXRD showed that enrofloxacin was embedded into IC and then distributed into F68 coating nanogels formulated by electrostatic interaction between CS and HA. The optimal nanosystems of 118.8 ± 30.7 nm showed excellent stability and responsive release in the acid medium, hyaluronidase containing medium, and LB broth medium where S. aureus present. The nanosystems displayed strong surface adsorption on S. aureus and enhanced activity against S. aureus. It had stronger sustained release than the polymeric nanoparticles formulated by entrapping of IC into F68 and the single HA/CS nanogels. This study provides a promising multi-functionalized nanosystems to overcome the treatment challenge of S. aureus and other bacterial infections.

Abstract
In recent years, valvular heart disease has become a serious disease threatening human life and is a major cause of death worldwide. However, the glutaraldehyde (GLU)-treated biological heart valves (BHVs) fail to meet all requirements of clinical application due to disadvantages such as valve thrombus, cytotoxicity, endothelialization difficulty, immune response, and calcification. Encouragingly, there are a large number of carboxyls as well as a few amino groups on the surface of GLU-treated BHVs that can be modified to enhance biocompatibility. Inspired by natural biological systems, we report a novel approach in which the heart valve was cross-linked with erythrocyte membrane biomimetic drug-loaded nanoparticles. Such modified heart valves not only preserved the structural integrity, stability, and mechanical properties of the GLU-treated BHVs but also greatly improved anti-coagulation, anti-inflammation, anti-calcification, and endothelialization. The in vitro results demonstrated that the modified heart valves had long-term anti-coagulation properties and enhanced endothelialization processes. The modified heart valves also showed good biocompatibility, including blood and cell biocompatibility. Most importantly, the modified heart valves reduced the TNF-α levels and increased IL-10 compared to GLU-treated BHVs. In vivo animal experiments also confirmed that the modified heart valves had an ultrastrong resistance to calcification after implantation in rats for 120 days. The mechanism of anti-calcification in vivo was mainly due to the controlled release of anti-inflammatory drugs that reduced the inflammatory response after valve implantation. In summary, this therapeutic approach based on BHVs cross-linking with erythrocyte membrane biomimetic nanoparticles sparks a novel design for valvular heart disease therapy.

Abstract
Colloidal surface engineering is of particular importance to impart modular functionalities to the colloidal systems. Here, a layer of Mn/Ni layered hydroxides (Mn/Ni(OH)x LDHs) can be successfully coated on various colloidal particles, such as silica spheres, silica rods, ferrite nanocrystal supraparticles, as well as FeOOH nanorods. Such layered hydroxides have intrinsic oxidase-mimetic activities, as demonstrated by catalytic oxidation of tetramethyl benzidine in the presence of oxygen. Furthermore, Mn/Ni(OH)x LDHs structure seems to capture bacteria (both Gram positive and Gram negative) and exhibit antibacterial properties in vitro. Moreover, local delivery of Mn/Ni-LDH structure fights against infection and reverses delayed wound healing procedures in mice models. Importantly, such hierarchical structures may have strong adhesive properties to the bacteria, which may maximize the contact between Mn/Ni(OH)x LDHs and the bacteria's surface. Overall, the present versatile colloidal surface engineering strategy will bring new insights in the field of antibiotics for its high efficiency toward antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing remains a critical challenge due to its vulnerability to multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infection, as well as the hyperglycemic and oxidative wound microenvironment. Herein, an injectable multifunctional hydrogel (FEMI) was developed to simultaneously overcome these hurdles. The FEMI hydrogel was fabricated through a Schiff-based reaction between ε-polylysine (EPL)-coated MnO2 nanosheets (EM) and insulin-loaded self-assembled aldehyde Pluronic F127 (FCHO) micelles. Through a synergistic combination of EPL and "nanoknife-like" MnO2 nanosheets, the FEMI hydrogel exhibited extraordinary antimicrobial capacities against MDR bacteria. The MnO2 nanoenzyme reshaped the hostile oxidative wound microenvironment by decomposing the endogenous H2O2 into O2. Meanwhile, the pH/redox dual-responsive FEMI hydrogel achieved a sustained and spatiotemporal controlled release of insulin to regulate the blood glucose. Our FEMI hydrogel demonstrated an accelerated MDR bacteria-infected diabetic wound healing in vivo and represents a versatile strategy for healing a broad range of tissue damages caused by diabetes.

Abstract
Photothermal treatment (PTT) involving a combination of therapeutic modalities recently emerged as an efficient alternative for combating biofilm. However, PTT-related local high temperature may destroy the surrounding healthy tissues. Herein, we present an all-in-one phototherapeutic nanoplatform consisting of l-arginine (l-Arg), indocyanine green (ICG), and mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA), namely, AI-MPDA, to eliminate the already-formed biofilm. The fabrication process included surface modification of MPDA with l-Arg and further adsorption of ICG via π-π stacking. Under near-infrared (NIR) exposure, AI-MPDA not only generated heat but also produced reactive oxygen species, causing a cascade catalysis of l-Arg to release nitric oxide (NO). Under NIR irradiation, biofilm elimination was attributed to the NO-enhanced photodynamic therapy and low-temperature PTT (≤45 °C). Notably, the NIR-triggered all-in-one strategy resulted in severe destruction of bacterial membranes. The phototherapeutic AI-MPDA also displayed good cytocompatibility. NIR-irradiated AI-MPDA nanoparticles not only prevented bacterial colonization but also realized a rapid recovery of infected wounds. More importantly, the all-in-one phototherapeutic platform displayed effective biofilm elimination with an efficiency of around 100% in a abscess formation model. Overall, this low-temperature phototherapeutic platform provides a reliable tool for combating already-formed biofilms in clinical applications.
