Abstract
Natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and enzymes (AMEs) are promising non-antibiotic candidates against antimicrobial resistance but suffer from low efficiency and poor stability. Here, we develop peptide nanozymes which mimic the mode of action of AMPs and AMEs through de novo design and peptide assembly. Through modelling a minimal building block of IHIHICI is proposed by combining critical amino acids in AMPs and AMEs and hydrophobic isoleucine to conduct assembly. Experimental validations reveal that IHIHICI assemble into helical β-sheet nanotubes with acetate modulation and perform phospholipase C-like and peroxidase-like activities with Ni coordination, demonstrating high thermostability and resistance to enzymatic degradation. The assembled nanotubes demonstrate cascade antifungal actions including outer mannan docking, wall disruption, lipid peroxidation and subsequent ferroptotic death, synergistically killing >90% Candida albicans within 10 min on disinfection pad. These findings demonstrate an effective de novo design strategy for developing materials with multi-antimicrobial mode of actions.

Abstract
Utilizing nanomaterials as an alternative to antibiotics, with a focus on maintaining high biosafety, has emerged as a promising strategy to combat antibiotic resistance. Nevertheless, the challenge lies in the indiscriminate attack of nanomaterials on both bacterial and mammalian cells, which limits their practicality. Herein, Cu3SbS3 nanoparticles (NPs) capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) are discovered to selectively adsorb and eliminate bacteria without causing obvious harm to mammalian cells, thanks to the interaction between O of N-acetylmuramic acid in bacterial cell walls and Cu of the NPs. Coupled with the short diffusion distance of ROS in the surrounding medium, a selective antibacterial effect is achieved. Additionally, the antibacterial mechanism is then identified: Cu3SbS3 NPs catalyze the generation of O2•-, which has subsequently been conversed by superoxide dismutase to H2O2. The latter is secondary catalyzed by the NPs to form •OH and 1O2, initiating an in situ attack on bacteria. This process depletes bacterial glutathione in conjunction with the disruption of the antioxidant defense system of bacteria. Notably, Cu3SbS3 NPs are demonstrated to efficiently impede biofilm formation; thus, a healing of MRSA-infected wounds was promoted. The bacterial cell wall-binding nanoantibacterial agents can be widely expanded through diversified design.

Oxygen-Vacancy-Rich Monolayer BiO 2- X Nanosheets for Bacterial Sepsis Management via Dual Physically Antibacterial and Chemically Anti-inflammatory Functions. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2304002.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Effective treatment of bacterial sepsis remains challenging due to the rapid progression of infection and the systemic inflammatory response. In this study, monolayer BiO2- X nanosheets (BiO2- X NSs) with oxygen-rich vacancies through sonication-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation are successfully synthesized. Herein, the BiO2- X NSs exhibit a novel nanozyme-enabled intervention strategy for the management of bacterial sepsis, based on its pH dependent dual antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions. BiO2- X NSs exhibit effective antibacterial by utilizing oxidase (OXD)-like activity. Additionally, BiO2- X NSs can scavenge multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitigate systemic hyperinflammation by mimicking superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). These dual capabilities of BiO2- X NSs allow them to address bacterial infection, proinflammatory cytokines secretion and ROS burst collaboratively, effectively reversing the progression of bacterial sepsis. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that BiO2- X NSs significantly reduce bacterial burden, attenuate systemic hyperinflammation, and rapidly rescued organ damage. Importantly, no obvious adverse effects are observed at the administered dose of BiO2- X NSs. This study presents a novel defect engineering strategy for the rational design of high-performance nanozymes and development of new nanomedicines for managing bacterial sepsis.

Surface chemistry engineered selenium nanoparticles as bactericidal and immuno-modulating dual-functional agents for combating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection. Drug Resist Updat 2024; 76:101102. [PMID: 38936006 DOI: 10.1016/j.drup.2024.101102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Because of the extremely complexed microenvironment of drug-resistant bacterial infection, nanomaterials with both bactericidal and immuno-modulating activities are undoubtedly the ideal modality for overcoming drug resistance. Herein, we precisely engineered the surface chemistry of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) using neutral (polyvinylpyrrolidone-PVP), anionic (letinan-LET) and cationic (chitosan-CS) surfactants. It was found that surface chemistry greatly influenced the bioactivities of functionalized SeNPs, their interactions with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), immune cells and metabolisms. LET-functionalized SeNPs with distinct metabolisms exhibited the best inhibitory efficacy compared to other kinds of SeNPs against MRSA through inducing robust ROS generation and damaging bacterial cell wall. Meanwhile, only LET-SeNPs could effectively activate natural kill (NK) cells, and enhance the phagocytic capability of macrophages and its killing activity against bacteria. Furthermore, in vivo studies suggested that LET-SeNPs treatment highly effectively combated MRSA infection and promoted wound healing by triggering much more mouse NK cells, CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes infiltrating into the infected area at the early stage to efficiently eliminate MRSA in the mouse model. This study demonstrates that the novel functionalized SeNP with dual functions could serve as an effective antibacterial agent and could guide the development of next generation antibacterial agents.

Abstract
It is of great importance to endow personal protective equipments with bactericidal property combating against infected pathogens. Nanozyme that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an enzyme-catalytic manner is regarded as a novel and promising nanobactericide. But until now, very rare of them is designed specifically for personal protective equipments. In this study, a multinanozyme of manganese oxide supported on Ce-containing MOF (CeBTC) is constructed with post-engineering via a quasi-metal-organic framework (MOF) strategy (denoted as MnOx/q-CeBTC). The strategy enables a full exposure of the metal cluster nodes, introduction of new active Mn─O─Ce bonds and strengthens interaction between the metal nodes and the guest oxide. As an advanced multinanozyme, the MnOx/q-CeBTC exhibits excellent multiple enzymatic activities at low temperature, and enables abundant and self-cascade ROS generation without H2O2 addition. This empowers it with high efficiency in bacteria killing, which is also reflected when incorporated into face mask to combat against pathogen invasion even at low temperature. The results achieved in this work provide guidance for rational design of effective bactericide based on nanozyme and broaden their application in personal protective equipment and other fields.

Abstract
Drug-resistant bacteria arising from antibiotic abuse infections have always been a serious threat to human health. Killing bacteria with toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an ideal antibacterial method for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections. Here, we prepared Pt-Ru bimetallic nanoclusters (Pt-Ru NCs) with higher peroxidase (POD)-like activity than Pt monometallic nanoclusters. Pt-Ru can easily catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to produce ·OH, thereby catalyzing the transformation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenylamine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB). We utilized the POD-like activity of the Pt-Ru NCs for antibacterial therapy. The results showed that at doses of 40 μg/mL and 16 μg/mL, the Pt-Ru NCs exhibited extraordinary antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, demonstrating the enormous potential of Pt-Ru NCs as antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ferromagnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 that exhibit enzyme-like activity in 2007, the research on nanoenzymes has made significant progress. With the in-depth study of various nanoenzymes and the rapid development of related nanotechnology, nanoenzymes have emerged as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. Within nanozymes, there is a category of metal-based single-atom nanozymes that has been rapidly developed due to low cast, convenient preparation, long storage, less immunogenicity, and especially higher efficiency. More importantly, single-atom nanozymes possess the capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species through various mechanisms, which is beneficial in the tissue repair process. Herein, this paper systemically highlights the types of metal single-atom nanozymes, their catalytic mechanisms, and their recent applications in tissue repair. The existing challenges are identified and the prospects of future research on nanozymes composed of metallic nanomaterials are proposed. We hope this review will illuminate the potential of single-atom nanozymes in tissue repair, encouraging their sequential clinical translation.

Abstract
Several studies suggest that oral pathogenic biofilms cause persistent oral infections. Among these is periodontitis, a prevalent condition brought on by plaque biofilm. It can even result in tooth loss. Furthermore, the accumulation of germs around a dental implant may lead to peri-implantitis, which damages the surrounding bone and gum tissue. Furthermore, bacterial biofilm contamination on the implant causes soft tissue irritation and adjacent bone resorption, severely compromising dental health. On decontaminated implant surfaces, however, re-osseointegration cannot be induced by standard biofilm removal techniques such as mechanical cleaning and antiseptic treatment. A family of nanoparticles known as nanozymes (NZs) comprise highly catalytically active multivalent metal components. The most often employed NZs with antibacterial activity are those that have peroxidase (POD) activity, among other types of NZs. Since NZs are less expensive, more easily produced, and more stable than natural enzymes, they hold great promise for use in various applications, including treating microbial infections. NZs have significantly contributed to studying implant success rates and periodontal health maintenance in periodontics and implantology. An extensive analysis of the research on various NZs and their applications in managing oral health conditions, including dental caries, dental pulp disorders, oral ulcers, peri-implantitis, and bacterial infections of the mouth. To combat bacteria, this review concentrates on NZs that imitate the activity of enzymes in implantology and periodontology. With a view to the future, there are several ways that NZs might be used to treat dental disorders antibacterially.

Abstract
Chronic wounds of significant severity and acute injuries are highly vulnerable to fungal infections, drastically impeding the expected wound healing trajectory. The clinical use of antifungal therapeutic drug is hampered by poor solubility, high toxicity and adverse reactions, thereby necessitating the urgent development of novel antifungal therapy strategy. Herein, this study proposes a new strategy to enhance the bioactivity of small-molecule antifungal drugs based on multifunctional metal nanozyme engineering, using amphotericin B (AmB) as an example. AmB-decorated gold nanoparticles (AmB@AuNPs) are synthesized by a facile one-pot reaction strategy, and the AmB@AuNPs exhibit superior peroxidase (POD)-like enzyme activity, with maximal reaction rates (Vmax ) 3.4 times higher than that of AuNPs for the catalytic reaction of H2 O2 . Importantly, the enzyme-like activity of AuNPs significantly enhanced the antifungal properties of AmB, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of AmB@AuNPs against Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) W303 are reduced by 1.6-fold and 50-fold, respectively, as compared with AmB alone. Concurrent in vivo studies conducted on fungal-infected wounds in mice underscored the fundamentally superior antifungal ability and biosafety of AmB@AuNPs. The proposed strategy of engineering antifungal drugs with nanozymes has great potential for enhanced therapy of fungal infections and related diseases.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials that exhibit enzyme-like biomimicry. In combination with intrinsic characteristics of nanomaterials, nanozymes have broad applicability in materials science, chemical engineering, bioengineering, biochemistry, and disease theranostics. Recently, the heterogeneity of published results has highlighted the complexity and diversity of nanozymes in terms of consistency of catalytic capacity. Machine learning (ML) shows promising potential for discovering new materials, yet it remains challenging for the design of new nanozymes based on ML approaches. Alternatively, ML is employed to promote optimization of intelligent design and application of catalytic materials and engineered enzymes. Incorporation of the successful ML algorithms used in the intelligent design of catalytic materials and engineered enzymes can concomitantly facilitate the guided development of next-generation nanozymes with desirable properties. Here, recent progress in ML, its utilization in the design of catalytic materials and enzymes, and how emergent ML applications serve as promising strategies to circumvent challenges associated with time-expensive and laborious testing in nanozyme research and development are summarized. The potential applications of successful examples of ML-aided catalytic materials and engineered enzymes in nanozyme design are also highlighted, with special focus on the unified aims in enhancing design and recapitulation of substrate selectivity and catalytic activity.

Abstract
Iron single-atom nanozymes represent a promising artificial enzyme with superior activity owing to uniform active sites that can precisely mimic active center of nature enzymes. However, current synthetic strategies are hard to guarantee each active site at single-atom state. In this work, an erythrocyte-templated strategy by utilizing intrinsic hemin active center of hemoglobin as sing-atom source for nanozyme formation is developed. By combining cell fixation, porous salinization, and high-temperature carbonization, erythrocytes are successfully served as uniform templates to synthesize nanozymes with fully single-atom FeN4 active sites which derived from hemin of hemoglobin, resulting in an enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activity. Interestingly, the catalytic activity of erythrocyte-templated nanozyme (ETN) shows dependence on animal species, among which murine ETN performed superior catalytic efficiency. In addition, the as-prepared ETNs display a honeycomb-like network structure, serving as a sponge to accelerate hemostasis based on the interactions with prothrombin and fibrinogen. These features enable ETN to effectively kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) by combining POD-like catalysis with near-infrared (NIR) induced photothermal effect, and subsequently suitable to promote wound healing. This study provides a proof-of-concept for facile fabrication of multifunctional nanozymes with uniform single-atom active sites by utilizing intrinsic iron structure characteristics of biogenic source like erythrocytes.

Abstract
The continuous reduction of clinically available antibiotics has made it imperative to exploit more effective antimicrobial therapies, especially for difficult-to-treat Gram-negative pathogens. Herein, it is shown that the combination of an antimicrobial nanozyme with the clinically compatible basic amino acid L-arginine affords a potent treatment for infections with Gram-negative pathogens. In particular, the antimicrobial activity of the antimicrobial nanozyme is dramatically increased by ≈1000-fold after L-arginine stimulation. Specifically, the combination therapy enhances bacterial outer and inner membrane permeability and promotes intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Moreover, the metabolomic and transcriptomic results reveal that combination treatment leads to the increased ROS-mediated damage by inhibiting the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, thereby inducing an imbalance of the antioxidant and oxidant systems. Importantly, L-arginine dramatically significantly accelerates the healing of infected wounds in mouse models of multidrug-resistant peritonitis-sepsis and skin wound infection. Overall, this work demonstrates a novel synergistic antibacterial strategy by combining the antimicrobial nanozymes with L-arginine, which substantively facilitates the nanozyme-mediated killing of pathogens by promoting ROS production.

Abstract
Diabetes-related chronic wounds characterized by hyperglycemia and weak alkaline milieu provide numerous advantages for bacteria growth and biofilm formation, setting a myriad of stumbling blocks for wound healing. Therefore, reshaping the spatially and temporally pathological wound microenvironment against bacterial infection is critical to rescue stalled healing progress in diabetes-related chronic wounds. Herein, we demonstrate on the room-temperature construction of a glucose oxidase (GOx)-mimicking and peroxidase (POD)-mimicking dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade system upon the partial reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ and the deposition of Au nanoparticles, simultaneously. The as-prepared dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade system possesses the capabilities of reshaping the pathological microenvironments of diabetic wound via glucose consumption and acidification, leading to amplified catalytic cascade activities for sterilization. On the one hand, the GOx-mimicking enzymatic activity of the catalytic cascade system can not only deplete glucose and acidize wound milieu to inhibit bacteria growth, but also utilize the weak alkaline milieu of diabetic wound to provide sufficient H2O2 and a favorable pH for subsequent OH generation. On the other hand, the POD-mimicking enzymatic activity of the catalytic cascade system can continuously produce OH for sterilization under the weak acidic milieu in the presence of abundant H2O2. Benefiting from the simply and mild preparation process and the excellent dual-nanozymes catalytic cascade activities under the deliberate evolved milieus of diabetes-related chronic wounds, our catalytic cascade system exhibits the promising healing effect and clinical translation potential against diabetic wound infection.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to develop an oxidative-stress-activated palladium-copper nanozyme to reduce bacterial's heat sensitivity by down-regulating heat shock proteins to overcome the shortcomings of conventional photothermal antimicrobial therapy and achieve mild photothermal bactericidal efficacy. Methods We first synthesized palladium-copper nanozymes (PC-NPs) by hydration and used transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to demonstrate their successful preparation. Their photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) activities were then determined by a series of photothermal performance tests and peroxidase-like performance tests, and the destruction of heat shock proteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) was verified at the protein level by Western Blotting tests, providing a basis for the effective bacteria-killing by the mild-temperature photothermal treatment subsequently applied. We also validated this promising programmed and controlled antimicrobial treatment with palladium-copper nanozymes by in vivo/in vitro antimicrobial assays. A hemolysis assay, MTT cytotoxicity test and histopathological analysis were also performed to assess the in vivo safety of PC-NPs. Results In the micro-acidic environment of bacterial infection, PC-NPs showed peroxidase-like activity that broke down the H2O2 at the wound into hydroxyl radicals and down-regulated bacterial heat shock proteins. The application of PC-NPs increased bacteria's sensitivity to subsequent photothermal treatment, enabling the elimination of bacteria via mild photothermal treatment. Conclusion The programmed synergistic catalytic enhancement of CDT and mild photothermal therapy achieves the most efficient killing of bacteria and their biofilms, which brings future thinking in the relationship between heat shock proteins and oxidative stress damage in bacteria.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) with good water solubility and biocompatibility have become a research hotspot in the nano-enzyme and biomedical field. However, the problems of low catalytic activity and ambiguous catalytic site of CDs as nanozymes still need to be addressed. In this work, CDs loaded with Cu single atoms are obtained through pyrolysis, and the coordination structure and surface functional groups are regulated by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature. CDs obtained at 300 °C (named Cu-CDs-300) have the most carboxyl content and Cu is coordinated in the form of CuN2 O2 , which can better decompose H2 O2 to produce free radical and is beneficial to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The vmax is 6.56*10-7 m s-1 , 6.56 times higher than that of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Moreover, Cu-CDs-300 can effectively lead to CT26 apoptosis by generating much free radicals. This work demonstrates the synergistic effect of oxygen-containing functional groups and metal coordination structures on peroxide-like activity of CDs and provides new ideas for the design of clear active structure and high efficiency peroxide-like single atom CDs catalyst.

Abstract
The defense system of freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii as a diversified source of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial properties was studied. Antimicrobial activity of two polypeptide-enriched extracts obtained from hemocytes and hemolymph of P. clarkii were assessed against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli) bacteria and toward the yeast Candida albicans. The two peptide fractions showed interesting MIC values (ranging from 11 to 700 μg/mL) against all tested pathogens. Polypeptide-enriched extracts were further investigated using a high-resolution mass spectrometry and database search and 14 novel peptides were identified. Some peptides and their derivatives were chemically synthesized and tested in vitro against the bacterial and yeast pathogens. The analysis identified a synthetic derivative peptide, which showed an interesting antifungal (MIC and MFC equal to 31.2 μg/mL and 62.5 μg/mL, respectively) and antibiofilm (BIC50 equal to 23.2 μg/mL) activities against Candida albicans and a low toxicity in human cells.

Abstract
Enhancement of the biological and mechanical properties of dental metals is important for accommodation with therapeutic schemes in different stomatological disciplines. Nanocoatings based on graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs) improve the topological structure and physicochemical properties of metal surfaces, endowing them with new properties while maintaining inherent mechanical properties. Nano-composite coatings, composed of GFNs with one or more type of polymer, metal, oxide, and inorganic nonmetallic compound, offer more matching modification schemes to meet multifunctional oral treatment requirements (e.g., anti-bacterial and anti-corrosive activity, osteogenesis and angiogenesis). This review describes recent progress in the development of GFN composite nanocoatings for the modification of dental metals, focus on biological effects in clinical settings. Underlying molecular mechanisms, critical modification schemes, and technical innovation in preparation methods are also discussed. The key parameters of GFN composite nanocoating surface modification are summarized according to effects on cellular responses and antibacterial activity. This review provides a theoretical reference for the optimization of the biological effects and application of GFN composite nanocoatings for dental metals, and the promotion of the environmentally friendly large-scale production of high-quality multifunctional GFN-based nanocoatings in the field of oral science.

Photothermal Regulated Nanozyme of CuFeS2 Nanoparticles for Efficiently Promoting Wound Healing Infected by Multidrug Resistant Bacteria. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12142469. [PMID: 35889693 PMCID: PMC9315979 DOI: 10.3390/nano12142469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Peroxidase-mediated chemokinetic therapy (CDT) can effectively resist bacteria; however, factors such as the high dosage of drugs seriously limit the antibacterial effect. Herein, CuFeS2 nanoparticles (NPs) nanozyme antibacterial system with the photothermal effect and peroxidase-like catalytic activity are proposed as a combined antibacterial agent with biosafety, high-efficiency, and broad-spectrum antibacterial ability. In addition, the as-obtained CuFeS2 NPs with a low doses of Cu+ and Fe3+ can change the permeability of bacterial cell membranes and break the antioxidant balance by consuming intracellular glutathione (GSH), which results in more conducive ROS production. Meanwhile, the photothermal heating can regulate the CuFeS2 NPs close to their optimal reaction temperature (60 °C) to release more hydroxyl radical in low concentrations of H2O2 (100 µM). The proposed CuFeS2 NPs-based antibacterial system achieve more than 99% inactivation efficiency of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (106 CFU mL−1 MRSA), hyperspectral bacteria β-Escherichia coli (106 CFU mL−1 ESBL) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (106 CFU mL−1 PA), even at low concentration (2 μg mL−1), which is superior to those of the conventional CuO NPs at 4 mg mL−1 reported in the literature. In vivo experiments further confirm that CuFeS2 NPs can effectively treat wounds infected by MRSA and promote the wound healing. This study demonstrates that excellent antibacterial ability and good biocompatibility make CuFeS2 NPs a potential anti-infection nanozyme with broad application prospects.

Abstract
Oral cancer is a result of diverse interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME), genetic alterations along with associated risk factors such as lifestyle and microbial infections. Various modalities are employed in the diagnosis and therapeutics of oral cancer. Nanozymes which are artificial enzymes have a great potential in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of tumors. They have enormous advantages compared to natural enzymes and possess inherent biological and physical properties. A web-based search was performed via the Google scholar, PubMed database, Web of Science with keywords nanozymes, nanoparticles in cancer and oral cancer. The other keywords used were diagnosis, therapy, TME, microbiome, molecular alterations, biosensor, targeted therapy, imaging and tissue regeneration. Original research studies, reviews, case reports published from 2012 to 2022 were included to appraise different subsections. An absolute lack of literature on nanozymes was observed in oral cancer. The present review is the first attempt to describe the role and application of nanozymes in oral cancer by correlating its outcome in tumor biology and biomedical research. Rapid development of nanotechnology has created a paradigm shift in cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. Nanozymes with novel designs can be anticipated in the future in oral cancer management.

Abstract
Bacterial-infected wounds are a serious threat to public health. Bacterial invasion can easily delay the wound healing process and even cause more serious damage. Therefore, effective new methods or drugs are needed to treat wounds. Nanozyme is an artificial enzyme that mimics the activity of a natural enzyme, and a substitute for natural enzymes by mimicking the coordination environment of the catalytic site. Due to the numerous excellent properties of nanozymes, the generation of drug-resistant bacteria can be avoided while treating bacterial infection wounds by catalyzing the sterilization mechanism of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Notably, there are still some defects in the nanozyme antibacterial agents, and the design direction is to realize the multifunctionalization and intelligence of a single system. In this review, we first discuss the pathophysiology of bacteria infected wound healing, the formation of bacterial infection wounds, and the strategies for treating bacterially infected wounds. In addition, the antibacterial advantages and mechanism of nanozymes for bacteria-infected wounds are also described. Importantly, a series of nanomaterials based on nanozyme synthesis for the treatment of infected wounds are emphasized. Finally, the challenges and prospects of nanozymes for treating bacterial infection wounds are proposed for future research in this field.
