Abstract
The integration of two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and other materials offers broader application options in the antibacterial field. Ti3C2Tx-based composites demonstrate synergistic physical, chemical, and photodynamic antibacterial activity. In this review, we aim to explore the potential of Ti3C2Tx-based composites in the fabrication of an antibiotic-free antibacterial agent with a focus on their systematic classification, manufacturing technology, and application potential. We investigate various components of Ti3C2Tx-based composites, such as metals, metal oxides, metal sulfides, organic frameworks, photosensitizers, etc. We also summarize the fabrication techniques used for preparing Ti3C2Tx-based composites, including solution mixing, chemical synthesis, layer-by-layer self-assembly, electrostatic assembly, and three-dimensional (3D) printing. The most recent developments in antibacterial application are also thoroughly discussed, with special attention to the medical, water treatment, food preservation, flexible textile, and industrial sectors. Ultimately, the future directions and opportunities are delineated, underscoring the focus of further research, such as elucidating microscopic mechanisms, achieving a balance between biocompatibility and antibacterial efficiency, and investigating effective, eco-friendly synthesis techniques combined with intelligent technology. A survey of the literature provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art developments in Ti3C2Tx-based composites and their potential applications in various fields. This comprehensive review covers the variety, preparation methods, and applications of Ti3C2Tx-based composites, drawing upon a total of 171 English-language references.

Abstract
Nanobactericides are employed as a promising class of nanomaterials for eradicating microbial infections, considering the rapid resistance risks of conventional antibiotics. Herein, we present a pioneering approach, reporting the synthesis of two-dimensional titanium disulfide nanosheets coated by nitrogen/sulfur-codoped carbon nanosheets (2D-TiS2@NSCLAA hybrid NSs) using a rapid l-ascorbic acid-assisted sulfurization of Ti3C2Tx-MXene to achieve efficient alternative bactericides. The as-developed materials were systematically characterized using a suite of different spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, in which the X-ray diffraction/Raman spectroscopy/X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data confirm the existence of TiS2 and C, while the morphological investigation reveals single- to few-layered TiS2 NSs confined by N,S-doped C, suggesting the successful synthesis of the ultrathin hybrid NSs. From in vitro evaluation, the resultant product demonstrates impressive bactericidal potential against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria, achieving a substantial decrease in the bacterial viability under a 1.2 J dose of visible-light irradiation at the lowest concentration of 5 μg·mL-1 compared to Ti3C2Tx (15 μg·mL-1), TiS2-C (10 μg·mL-1), and standard antibiotic ciprofloxacin (15 μg·mL-1), respectively. The enhanced degradation efficiency is attributed to the ultrathin TiS2 NSs encapsulated within heteroatom N,S-doped C, facilitating effective photogenerated charge-carrier separation that generates multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced physical stress as well as piercing action due to its ultrathin structure, resulting in multimechanistic cytotoxicity and damage to bacterial cells. Furthermore, the obtained results from molecular docking studies conducted via computational simulation (in silico) of the as-synthesized materials against selected proteins (β-lactamasE. coli/DNA-GyrasE. coli) are well-consistent with the in vitro antibacterial results, providing strong and consistent validation. Thus, this sophisticated study presents a simple and effective synthesis technique for the structural engineering of metal sulfide-based hybrids as functionalized synthetic bactericides.

Abstract
MXene, a recently emerged 2D material, has garnered substantial attention for a myriad of applications. Despite the growing interest, there remains a noticeable gap in exploring MXene-based membranes for the simultaneous achievement of photomodulated oil/water separation, bacterial resistance, and the removal of pollutants in the treatment of oily wastewater. In this work, we have successfully synthesized a novel multifunctional CuO@MXene-PAN nanofibrous membrane (NFM) featuring unique nanograin-like structures. Benefitting from these unique structures, the resultant membrane shows excellent superwetting properties, significantly enhancing its performance in oil/water separation. In addition, the membrane's photothermal property boosts its permeance by 40% under visible light illumination within 30 min. Furthermore, the resultant membrane shows decent dye removal efficiency in an aqueous solution, e.g., Rhodamine B (RhB), promoting efficient degradation with high reusability under visible light. Most remarkably, the resultant membrane exhibits superior anti-biofouling capability and consistently resists the adhesion of microorganisms such as cyanobacteria over a 14 day period. Thus, the combined effect of superior superwetting properties, photothermal responsivity, photocatalytic activity, and the antibacterial effect in CuO@MXene-PAN NFM contributes to the efficient treatment of intricate oily wastewater. This synergistic combination of superior properties in the membrane could be an appealing strategy for the broad development of multifunctional materials to prevent fouling during actual separation performance.

Abstract
Human diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms make people pay more attention to disinfection. Meanwhile, antibiotics can cause microbial resistance and increase the difficulty of disease treatment, resulting in risk of triggering a vicious circle. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) has been widely studied in the field of synergistic treatment of the two contaminates. This paper reviews the application of catalytic materials and their modification strategies in the context of AOPs for disinfection and antibiotic degradation. It also delves into the mechanisms of disinfection such as the pathways for microbial inactivation and the related influencing factors, which are essential for understanding the pivotal role of catalytic materials in disinfection principles by AOPs. More importantly, the exploratory research on the combined use of AOPs for disinfection and antibiotic degradation is discussed, and the potential and prospects in this field is highlighted. Finally, the limitations and challenges associated with the application of AOPs in disinfection and antibiotic degradation are summarized. It aims to provide a starting point for future research efforts to facilitate the widespread use of advanced oxidation processes in the field of public health.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116929.

Abstract
The accumulation of microbes especially in the air and in water bodies is causing the major disease outbreaks. Indoor environment remediation methods are necessary today to clean up these microbes. Among the remediation methods available, in situ generation of highly reactive and oxidizing radical species by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) inactivate most of the microbes unselectively. Of these AOPs, photocatalytic microbial disinfection especially under indoor conditions is of great interest to maintain microbe-free indoor environment. For efficient microbes' inactivation under indoor conditions, the near IR and IR response of the photocatalysts must be improved. Though the photocatalytic disinfection of microbes using semiconductor-based photocatalysts has been extensively investigated, most of the photocatalysts that have been investigated are either weekly responsive or totally not irresponsive to IR photons due to inappropriate bandgap energies. Several strategies have been investigated to enhance the light harvesting properties of semiconductor based photocatalysts under indoor conditions and make them active to near IR and IR radiations. This review summarizes the recent progress in the field of materials for photocatalysts employed for microbial removal in indoor environments over the past decade as well as outlines key perspectives to enlighten future researches. The paper details the fundamentals of photocatalysis and basic properties of photocatalytic materials in the disinfection of common microbes under indoor conditions. The applications of photocatalytic materials in the disinfection of microbes in indoor environmental conditions are discussed and reviewed. Finally, the remaining challenges and future strategies/prospects in the design and synthesis of IR (and near IR) responsive photocatalysts are discussed.

[PMID: 37778485 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.09.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Developing environmentally friendly, broad-spectrum, and long-lasting antibacterial materials remains challenging. Our ternary BiOI@Bi2S3/MXene composites, which exhibit both photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) antibacterial properties, were synthesized through in-situ vulcanization of hollow flower-shaped BiOI on the surface of two-dimensional Ti3C2 MXene. The unique hollow flower-shaped BiOI structure with a high exposure of the (001) crystal plane amplifies light reflection and scattering, offering more active sites to improve light utilization. Under 808 nm irradiation, these composites achieved a photothermal conversion efficiency of 57.8 %, boosting the PTT antibacterial effect. The heterojunction between Bi2S3 and BiOI creates a built-in electric field at the interface, promoting hole and electron transfer. Significantly, the close-contact heterogeneous interface enhances charge transfer and suppresses electron-hole recombination, thereby boosting PDT bacteriostatic performance. EPR experiments confirmed that ∙O2- and •OH radicals play major roles in photocatalytic bacteriostatic reactions. The combined antibacterial action of PTT and PDT led to efficiencies of 99.7 % and 99.8 % against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, respectively, under 808 nm laser irradiation. This innovative strategy and thoughtful design open new avenues for heterojunction materials in PTT and PDT sterilization. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Photodynamic and photothermal therapy is a promising antibacterial treatment, but its efficiency still limits its application. To overcome this limitation, we prepared three-dimensional heterogeneous BiOI@Bi2S3/MXene nanocomposites through in-situ vulcanization of hollow flower-shaped BiOI with a high exposure of the (001) crystal plane onto the surface of two-dimensional MXene material. The resulting ternary material forms a close-contact heterogeneous interface, which improves charge transfer channels, reduces electron-hole pair recombination, and amplifies photodynamic bacteriostatic performance. These nanocomposites exhibit photothermal conversion efficiency of 57.8 %, enhancing their photothermal bactericidal effects. They demonstrated antibacterial efficiencies of 99.7 % against P. aeruginosa and 99.8 % against S. aureus. Therefore, this study provides a promising method for the synthesis of environmentally friendly and efficient antibacterial materials.

Abstract
The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is a major rice pest in various Asian countries, causing significant negative impacts on rice yield and quality. In this study, we developed a novel nanoplatform (NIT@MON@CuS) for pesticide delivery that responds to redox and near-infrared light stimuli. The nanoplatform consisted of CuS nanoparticles with mesoporous organic silica (MON), loaded with nitenpyram (NIT). With an average size of 190 nm and a loading efficiency of 22%, NIT@MON@CuS exhibited remarkable thermal response in the near-infrared region, demonstrating excellent photothermal conversion ability and stability. In vitro release kinetics demonstrated the rapid release of nitenpyram under near-infrared light and glutathione conditions, facilitating a satisfactory temperature increase and accelerated drug release. The NIT@MON@CuS-treated group exhibited a higher mortality of N. lugens, increasing from 62 to 88% compared to the group treated with nitenpyram technical after 96 h. Bioassay revealed that NIT@MON@CuS significantly enhanced nitenpyram toxicity by more than 1.4-fold against both laboratory insecticide-resistant and field strains of N. lugens. Furthermore, RT-qPCR results demonstrated that MON@CuS had the capability to reduce P450 gene expression, thereby improving the sensitivity of N. lugens to insecticides. These findings suggest that MON@CuS holds great potential as an intelligent pest control platform, offering a sustainable and efficient approach to protect crops against pests.

Abstract
MXenes, two-dimensional (2D) materials that consist of transition metal carbides, nitrides and/or carbonitrides, have recently attracted much attention in energy-related and biomedicine fields. These materials have substantial advantages over traditional carbon graphenes: they possess high conductivity, high strength, excellent chemical and mechanical stability, and superior hydrophilic properties. Furthermore, diverse functional groups such as -OH, -O, and -F located on the surface of MXenes aid the immobilization of numerous noble metal nanoparticles (NP). Therefore, 2D MXene composite materials have become an important and convenient option of being applied as support materials in many fields. In this review, the advances in the synthesis (including morphology studies, characterization, physicochemical properties) and applications of the currently known 2D MXene-metal (Pd, Ag, Au, and Cu) nanomaterials are summarized based on critical analysis of the literature in this field. Importantly, the current state of the art, challenges, and the potential for future research on broad applications of MXene-metal nanomaterials have been discussed.

Abstract
Flexible conductive films based on light-to-heat conversion are promising for the next-generation electronic devices. A flexible waterborne polyurethane composite film (PU/MA) with excellent photothermal conversion performance was obtained by combination of PU and silver nanoparticle decorated MXene (MX/Ag). The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) uniformly decorated on the MXene surface by γ-ray irradiation induced reduction. Because of the synergistic effect of MXene with outstanding light-to-heat conversion efficiency and the AgNPs with plasmonic effect, the surface temperature of the PU/MA-II (0.4%) composite with lower MXene content increased from room temperature to 60.7 °C at 5 min under 85 mW cm-2 light irradiation. Besides, the tensile strength of PU/MA-II (0.4%) increased from 20.9 MPa (pure PU) to 27.5 MPa. The flexible PU/MA composite film shows great potential in the field of thermal management of flexible wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
As an influential antifouling material, photocatalytic materials have drawn attention increasingly over recent years owing to their potential bacteriostatic property in the domain of marine antifouling. Herein, a flower-like BiOI@CeO2@Ti3C2 S-scheme photocatalyst was contrived and prepared by hydrothermal method. The innovative combination of Ti3C2 and narrow band gap semiconductor BiOI was implemented to modify CeO2 and the photocatalytic bacteriostatic mechanism of BiOI@CeO2@Ti3C2 was elucidated. Schottky junction was formed between CeO2 and Ti3C2, and a p-n junction was formed between CeO2 and BiOI. By photoelectrochemical characterization, BCT-10 exhibits the best photoelectrochemical performance of which photogenerated carrier transport can be performed more readily at 10 % CeO2@Ti3C2 addition. 99.76 % and 99.89 % of photocatalytic bacteriostatic efficiency of BCT-10 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were implemented respectively, which were 2.98 and 3.07 times higher than that of pure CeO2. The ternary heterojunction can suppress photogenerated electron-hole complexes more effectively and enhance the photocatalytic bacteriostatic effect of CeO2, which also provided a new concept to the further broadened application of CeO2 in the marine bacteriostatic and antifouling field.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation caused by invasive bacterial infections severely interferes with the normal healing process of skin regeneration. Hypoxia of the infection microenvironment (IME) seriously affects the antibacterial effect of photodynamic therapy in phototherapy. To address this serious issue, a nanocatalytic hydrogel with an enhanced phototherapy effect consisting of a hydrogel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) scaffold, MXene/CuS bio-heterojunction, and polydopamine (PDA) for photothermal antibacterial effects and promoting skin regeneration is designed. The MXene/CuS bio-heterojunction has a benign photothermal effect. Singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were generated under near-infrared light, which made the hydrogel system have good antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The addition of PDA further improves the biocompatibility and endows the nanocatalytic hydrogel with adhesion. Additionally, in vivo assays display that the nanocatalytic hydrogel has good skin regeneration ability, including ability to kill bacteria, and promotes capillary angiogenesis and collagen deposition. This work proposes an approach for nanocatalyzed hydrogels with an activated IME response to treat wound infections by enhancing the phototherapeutic effects.

Abstract
Bacteria are small but need big efforts to control. The use of antibiotics not only produces superbugs that are increasingly difficult to inactivate, but also raises environmental concerns with the growing consumption. It is now believed that the antibacterial task can count on some physiochemical features of material surfaces, which can be anti-adhesive or bactericidal without releasing toxicants. It is necessary to evaluate to what extent can we rely on the surface design since the actual application scenarios will need the antibacterial performance to be sharp, robust, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. Herein, we review the recent laboratory advances that have been classified based on the specific surface features, including hydrophobicity, charge potential, micromorphology, stiffness and viscosity, and photoactivity, and the antibacterial mechanisms of each feature are included to provide a basic rationale for future design. The significance of anti-biofilms is also introduced, given the big role of biofilms in bacteria-caused damage. A perspective on the potential wide application of antibacterial surface features as a substitute or supplement to antibiotics is then discussed. Surface design is no doubt a solution worthy to explore, and future success will be a result of further progress in multiple directions, including mechanism study and material preparation.

Abstract
Across the planet, outbreaks of bacterial illnesses pose major health risks and raise concerns. Photodynamic, photothermal, and metal ion release effects of transition metal-based nanocomposites (TMNs) were recently shown to be highly effective in reducing bacterial resistance and upsurges in outbreaks. Surface plasmonic resonance, photonics, crystal structures, and optical properties of TMNs have been used to regulate metal ion release, produce oxidative stress, and generate heat for bactericidal applications. The superior properties of TMNs provide a chance to investigate and improve their antimicrobial actions, perhaps leading to therapeutic interventions. In this review, we discuss three alternative antibacterial strategies based on TMNs of photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and metal ion release and their mechanistic actions. The scientific community has made significant efforts to address the safety, effectiveness, toxicity, and biocompatibility of these metallic nanostructures; significant achievements and trends have been highlighted in this review. The combination of therapies together has borne significant results to counter antimicrobial resistance (4-log reduction). These three antimicrobial pathways are separated into subcategories based on recent successes, highlighting potential needs and challenges in medical, environmental, and allied industries.

Abstract
Photo-stimuli-responsive therapeutic nanomaterials have gained widespread attention as frontline materials for biomedical applications. The photoactivation strategies are classified as single-modality (based on either reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based photodynamic therapy (PDT), hyperthermia-based photothermal therapy (PTT)), or dual-modality (which combines PDT and PTT). Due to its minimal invasiveness, phototherapy has been extensively applied as an efficient therapeutic platform for many diseases, including skin cancers. However, extensive implementation of phototherapy to address the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections remains challenging. This review focuses on copper sulfide (CuS) nanomaterials as efficient and cost-effective PDT and PTT therapeutic nanomaterials with antibacterial activity. The features and merits of CuS nanomaterials as therapeutics are compared to those of other nanomaterials. Control of the dimensions and morphological complexity of CuS nanomaterials through judicious synthesis is then introduced. Both the in vitro antibacterial activity and the in vivo therapeutic effect of CuS nanomaterials and derivative nanocomposites composed of 2D nanomaterials, polymers, metals, metal oxides, and proteins are described in detail. Finally, the perspective of photo-stimuli-responsive CuS nanomaterials for future clinical antibacterial applications is highlighted. This review illustrates that CuS nanomaterials are highly effective, low-toxic, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agents or platform nanomaterials for combatting MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Fabrication, characterizations and photothermal properties of MXenes are systematically described. Photothermal-derived antibacterial performances and mechanisms of MXenes-based materials are summarized and reviewed. Recent advances in the derivative applications relying on antibacterial properties of MXenes-based materials, including in vitro and in vivo sterilization, solar water evaporation and purification, and flexible antibacterial fabrics, are investigated. ABSTRACT The pernicious bacterial proliferation and emergence of super-resistant bacteria have already posed a great threat to public health, which drives researchers to develop antibiotic-free strategies to eradicate these fierce microbes. Although enormous achievements have already been achieved, it remains an arduous challenge to realize efficient sterilization to cut off the drug resistance generation. Recently, photothermal therapy (PTT) has emerged as a promising solution to efficiently damage the integrity of pathogenic bacteria based on hyperthermia beyond their tolerance. Until now, numerous photothermal agents have been studied for antimicrobial PTT. Among them, MXenes (a type of two-dimensional transition metal carbides or nitrides) are extensively investigated as one of the most promising candidates due to their high aspect ratio, atomic-thin thickness, excellent photothermal performance, low cytotoxicity, and ultrahigh dispersibility in aqueous systems. Besides, the enormous application scenarios using their antibacterial properties can be tailored via elaborated designs of MXenes-based materials. In this review, the synthetic approaches and textural properties of MXenes have been systematically presented first, and then the photothermal properties and sterilization mechanisms using MXenes-based materials are documented. Subsequently, recent progress in diverse fields making use of the photothermal and antibacterial performances of MXenes-based materials are well summarized to reveal the potential applications of these materials for various purposes, including in vitro and in vivo sterilization, solar water evaporation and purification, and flexible antibacterial fabrics. Last but not least, the current challenges and future perspectives are discussed to provide theoretical guidance for the fabrication of efficient antimicrobial systems using MXenes. [Image: see text]

Abstract
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a critical threat to human health. Considering the difficulties and time-consuming nature of synthesizing new antibiotics, it is of great significance and importance to develop the antibiotic-independent antibacterial approaches against drug-resistant bacteria. Nanomaterials-based photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have attracted much attention due to their broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, low toxicity, and drug-free feature. In this work, we loaded indocyanine green (ICG) on the Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets (454 nm) so as to combine the photothermal effect of MXene with the photodynamic effect of ICG. Without near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, MXene (20 μg/mL), ICG (5 μg/mL) or ICG-loaded MXene (ICG-MXene) showed no significant antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Under NIR, however, the viability loss of MRSA remarkably increased to 45% for MXene, 66% for ICG and 100% for ICG-MXene. We further found that the great anti-MRSA activity of ICG-MXene under NIR was attributed to the combination of photothermal effect of MXene (high temperature) and photodynamic effect of ICG (high level of reactive oxygen species). Our findings indicate that MXene can be used as both the photothermal agent and the carrier of photosensitizers to achieve the synergistic PTT/PDT therapy for bacterial infections.

Abstract
The unique bactericidal mechanism of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is considered to be an effective strategy to deal with antibiotic resistance, but the oxidative stress damage caused by excessive accumulation of MNPs to normal cells cannot be ignored. Achieving on-demand release of nano-drugs in specific infection environments is highly attractive. Herein, we constructed a “core-shell” nanogel (G@CuS) based on a copper sulfide (CuS) antimicrobial agent and gelatin for targeted drug release and bacterial clearance in a gelatinase infected microenvironment. G@CuS produced heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) under the irradiation of a laser, which together with the released Cu2+ cause irreversible and efficient physical damage to the bacteria. Moreover, the encapsulation of gelatin not only limits the biotoxicity of CuS nanodots (NDs), but also effectively promotes the proliferation of mammalian cells. Under the synergy of multiple mechanisms, G@CuS eradicated the colonized bacteria in the wound of mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and accelerated wound healing. The proposed application strategy of nanogel is expected to provide a new idea for clinical transformation.

Size-dependent photothermal antibacterial activity of Ti 3C 2T x MXene nanosheets against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 617:533-541. [PMID: 35299127 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Developing antibiotics-independent antibacterial materials is of great importance for combating drug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MXene (transition metal carbides and nitrides), a class of novel 2D nanomaterials, has shown great potentials in biomedical areas. However, the effect of MXene size on its properties and bioactivity is still unknown. Herein, we report for the first time that the antibacterial photothermal therapy efficacy of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets is size-dependent. Three MXene suspensions with small size of 196 nm (MX-s), medium size of 347 nm (MX-m) and large size of 497 nm (MX-l) were prepared via ultrasonication. Upon NIR irradiation for 5 min, the temperature of MXene suspensions (10 μg/mL) increased to 64, 60 and 56 °C for MX-s, MX-m and MX-l, respectively. Accordingly, the viability loss of MRSA induced by MX-s, MX-m and MX-l under NIR was 93%, 69% and 56%, respectively. The in vivo study in the MRSA-infected mouse model showed that the photothermal therapy efficacy of MX-s was comparable to that of the positive control vancomycin. This is the first report on the size-dependent photothermal effect and photothermal antibacterial activity of MXene, which may guide the development of MXene-based therapeutics in the future. In addition, the drug-free antibacterial therapy has great implications for the treatment of antibiotics-resistant bacteria infections.

Tri-functional SERS nanoplatform with tunable plasmonic property for synergistic antibacterial activity and antibacterial process monitoring. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 608:2266-2277. [PMID: 34794806 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.10.132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Strategies integrating synergistic high-efficiency bacterial killing and antibacterial process monitoring capability are desirable. Herein, a tri-functional surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanoplatform, namely 4-mercaptobenzoic acid-encoded gold nanorods@silver coated with a layer of bovine serum albumin (AuNRs@Ag@4-MBA@BSA), with excellent biocompatibility, stability, tunable plasmonic property and activatable photothermal effect is introduced for Ag+/photothermal therapy (PTT) synergistic antibacterial activity and antibacterial process monitoring. An exogenous etchant is used to controllably model the physiological process of metallic silver biodegradation. Ag shell etching causes the surface plasmon resonance band of SERS nanotags to red-shift to near-infrared region, activates the photothermal conversion capability, and triggers PTT, which in turn accelerates Ag shell etching. The antibacterial rates for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after 10 min treatment can achieve 99.5% and 99.9%, respectively. Furthermore, the near-field effect and ultrasensitive property render the SERS intensity decrease ratio is dependent on Ag shell etching as well as temperature rising and thus relevant to antibacterial activity. We have demonstrated a strong correlation between SERS signal and antibacterial effect, and have verified the possibility of antibacterial process monitoring in vitro using SERS-based methodology. We envision that our integrated strategy being used for in vivo high-efficiency bacterial killing and antibacterial process monitoring.
