Abstract
Bacterial infections are among the most significant causes of death in humans. Chronic misuse or uncontrolled use of antibiotics promotes the emergence of multidrug-resistant superbugs that threaten public health through the food chain and cause environmental pollution. Based on the above considerations, copper selenide nanosheets (CuSe NSs) with photothermal therapy (PTT)- and photodynamic therapy (PDT)-related properties have been fabricated. These CuSe NSs possess enhanced PDT-related properties and can convert O2 into highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause significant oxidative stress and damage to bacteria. In addition, CuSe NSs can efficiently consume glutathione (GSH) at bacterial infection sites, thus further enhancing their sterilization efficacy. In vitro antibacterial experiments with near-infrared (NIR) irradiation have shown that CuSe NSs have excellent photothermal bactericidal properties. These experiments also showed that CuSe NSs exerted excellent bactericidal effects on wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and significantly promoted the healing of infected wounds. Because of their superior biological safety, CuSe NSs are novel copper-based antimicrobial agents that are expected to enter clinical trials, serving as a modern approach to the major problem of treating bacterially infected wounds.

Abstract
Bacterial infection, which can trigger varieties of diseases and tens of thousands of deaths each year, poses serious threats to human health. Particularly, the new dilemma caused by biofilms is gradually becoming a severe and tough problem in the biomedical field. Thus, the strategies to address these problems are considered an urgent task at present. Micro/nanomotors (MNMs), also named micro/nanoscale robots, are mostly driven by chemical energy or external field, exhibiting strong diffusion and self-propulsion in the liquid media, which has the potential for antibacterial applications. In particular, when MNMs are assembled in swarms, they become robust and efficient for biofilm removal. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review discussing the progress in this aspect. Bearing it in mind and based on our own research experience in this regard, the studies on MNMs driven by different mechanisms orchestrated for antibacterial activity and biofilm removal are timely and concisely summarized and discussed in this work, aiming to show the advantages of MNMs brought to this field. In addition, an outlook was proposed, hoping to provide the fundamental guidance for future development in this area.

Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional nanohybrid (PL@HPFTM nanoparticles) was fabricated to perform the integration of chemodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and biological therapy over the long term at a designed location for continuous antibacterial applications. The PL@HPFTM nanoparticles consisted of a polydopamine/hemoglobin/Fe2+ nanocomplex with comodification of tetrazole/alkene groups on the surface as well as coloading of antimicrobial peptides and luminol in the core. During therapy, the PL@HPFTM nanoparticles would selectively cross-link to surrounding bacteria via tetrazole/alkene cycloaddition under chemiluminescence produced by the reaction between luminol and overexpressed H2O2 at the infected area. The resulting PL@HPFTM network not only significantly damaged bacteria by Fe2+-catalyzed ROS production, effective photothermal conversion, and sustained release of antimicrobial peptides but dramatically enhanced the retention time of these therapeutic agents for prolonged antibacterial therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo results have shown that our PL@HPFTM nanoparticles have much higher bactericidal efficiency and remarkably longer periods of validity than free antibacterial nanoparticles.

Abstract
Biofilm is a spatially organized community formed by the accumulation of both microorganisms and their secretions, leading to persistent and chronic infections because of high resistance toward conventional antibiotics. In view of the tunable physicochemical properties and the related unique biological behavior (e.g., size-, shape-, and surface charge-dependent penetration, protein corona endowed targeting, catalytic- and electronic-related oxidative stress, optical- and magnetic-associated hyperthermia, etc.), nanomaterials-based therapeutics are widely used for the treatment of biofilm-associated infections. In this review, the biological characteristics of biofilm are introduced. And the nanomaterials-based antibacterial strategies are further discussed via biofilm targeting, including preventing biofilm formation, enhancing biofilm penetration, disrupting the mature biofilm, and acting as drug delivery systems. In which, the interactions between biofilm and nanomaterials include mechanical disruption, electron transfer, enzymatic degradation, oxidative stress, and hyperthermia. Additionally, the current advances of nanomaterials for antibacterial nanomaterials by biofilm targeting are summarized. This review aims to present a complete vision of antibacterial nanomaterials-biofilm (nano-bio) interactions, paving the way for the future development and clinical translation of effective antibacterial nanomedicines.

Abstract
The various tissue damages are a severe problem to human health. The limited human tissue regenerate ability requires suitable biomaterials to help damage tissue repair and regeneration. Therefore, many researchers devoted themselves to exploring biomaterials suitable for tissue repair and regeneration. Polydopamine (PDA) as a natural and multifunctional material which is inspired by mussel has been widely applied in different biomaterials. The excellent properties of PDA, such as strong adhesion, photothermal and high drug-loaded capacity, seem to be born for tissue repair and regeneration. Furthermore, PDA combined with different materials can exert unexpected effects. Thus, to inspire researchers, this review summarizes the recent and representative development of PDA biomaterials in tissue repair and regeneration. This article focuses on why apply PDA in these biomaterials and what PDA can do in different tissue injuries.

Abstract
Wound healing is a critical process that facilitates the body's recovery from injuries and helps prevent infections, thereby maintaining overall tissue and organ functionality. However, delayed wound healing owing to various factors can lead to bacterial infections and secondary complications. In this study, a ciprofloxacin (CIP)-loaded MXene/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was fabricated to inhibit bacterial infections and enhance wound healing. The hydrogel was formulated in a sprayable state by blending CIP-loaded MXene (CIP-MX) with SA. This hydrogel was found to exhibit excellent photothermal conversion capability and biocompatibility under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. In addition, the hydrogel enabled controlled drug release based on NIR irradiation, ultimately enabling improved antibacterial activity. Based on the in vitro and in vivo experiments, the CIP-loaded MXene/SA hydrogel (CIP-MX@Gel) accelerated wound healing. Overall, the CIP-MX@Gel has excellent potential as an effective wound healing material.

Abstract
In this study, the application of ionic materials as a combination antibiotic drug was investigated. The fluoroquinolone, Norfloxacin, was converted into the ionic form and combined with the cationic dye, IR780+, using an ion-exchange reaction. The resulting ionic combination drug possesses two killing mechanisms in one compound. The antibiotic chemical mechanism along with the photothermal mechanism that was acquired by adding IR780 to the compound led to the development of a combination antibiotic drug. This ionic combination drug consisting of Norfloxacin anion and IR780 cation is easily dispersed in water using sonication waves. The parent compounds and ionic combination drug, dissolved in organic solvent and dispersed in water, were characterized, and the photophysical properties were studied in detail. It was discovered that the aqueous ionic combination drugs exhibited significant changes in absorbance and photoluminescent properties. In aqueous media, the dispersed ionic combination drug exhibited a very broad absorbance with an additional peak around 1000 nm which is advantageous in photothermal. A significant decrease in the quantum yield along with enhanced non-radiative rate constant was observed for the combination drug in the aqueous. The photothermal mechanism is present in both the parent IR780 dye and the ionic combination drug. The ionic combination drug displayed a high light-to-heat conversion efficiency and temperature increase similar to the parent dye. The combination of both killing mechanisms in the ionic combination drug resulted in enhanced antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli as compared to the parent Norfloxacin and IR780-I individually.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of a nanostructured dermal patch composed of chitosan-tannic acid (CT) that can carry near-infrared (NIR) active Indocyanine green (ICG) dye for performing photothermal heat conversion activity. The NIR-responsive CT-I dermal patch can deliver topical antibiotic drugs (Neomycin). The CT-I and drug-loaded CT-I/N patches have been demonstrated by FTIR, SEM/EDX, TGA, and DSC analysis. The in vitro drug release from the CT-I/N patch are favorable in the dermal environment (pH = 5.5) and significantly increases 25 % more at higher temperatures of 40 to 45 °C. The CT-I/N showed increasing photothermal heat in response to NIR (808 nm) light. The in vivo thermograph demonstrated that the CT-I/N patch can generate >45 °C within 5 min NIR irradiation. As a result, sustained wound healing was shown in H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) staining dermal tissue. Such NIR-active nanostructure film/patch is promising for the future of any sustained on-demand drug delivery system.

Neutrophil-inspired photothermo-responsive drug delivery system for targeted treatment of bacterial infection and endotoxins neutralization. Biomater Res 2023; 27:30. [PMID: 37061741 PMCID: PMC10105932 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-023-00372-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND P. aeruginosa, a highly virulent Gram-negative bacterium, can cause severe nosocomial infections, and it has developed resistance against most antibiotics. New therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to treat such bacterial infection and reduce its toxicity caused by endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS). Neutrophils have been proven to be able to target inflammation site and neutrophil membrane receptors such as Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) and CD14, and exhibit specific affinity to LPS. However, antibacterial delivery system based on the unique properties of neutrophils has not been reported. METHODS A neutrophil-inspired antibacterial delivery system for targeted photothermal treatment, stimuli-responsive antibiotic release and endotoxin neutralization is reported in this study. Specifically, the photothermal reagent indocyanine green (ICG) and antibiotic rifampicin (RIF) are co-loaded into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NP-ICG/RIF), followed by coating with neutrophil membrane to obtain antibacterial delivery system (NM-NP-ICG/RIF). The inflammation targeting properties, synergistic antibacterial activity of photothermal therapy and antibiotic treatment, and endotoxin neutralization have been studied in vitro. A P. aeruginosa-induced murine skin abscess infection model has been used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the NM-NP-ICG/RIF. RESULTS Once irradiated by near-infrared lasers, the heat generated by NP-ICG/RIF triggers the release of RIF and ICG, resulting in a synergistic chemo-photothermal antibacterial effect against P. aeruginosa (~ 99.99% killing efficiency in 5 min). After coating with neutrophil-like cell membrane vesicles (NMVs), the nanoparticles (NM-NP-ICG/RIF) specifically bind to inflammatory vascular endothelial cells in infectious site, endowing the nanoparticles with an infection microenvironment targeting function to enhance retention time. Importantly, it is discovered for the first time that NMVs-coated nanoparticles are able to neutralize endotoxins. The P. aeruginosa murine skin abscess infection model further demonstrates the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of NM-NP-ICG/RIF. CONCLUSION The neutrophil-inspired antibacterial delivery system (NM-NP-ICG/RIF) is capable of targeting infection microenvironment, neutralizing endotoxin, and eradicating bacteria through a synergistic effect of photothermal therapy and antibiotic treatment. This drug delivery system made from FDA-approved compounds provides a promising approach to fighting against hard-to-treat bacterial infections.

Ye JJ, Li LF, Hao RN, Gong M, Wang T, Song J, Meng QH, Zhao NN, Xu FJ, Lvov Y, Zhang LQ, Xue JJ. Phase-change composite filled natural nanotubes in hydrogel promote wound healing under photothermally triggered drug release. Bioact Mater 2023; 21:284-298. [PMID: 36157247 PMCID: PMC9478498 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.08.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
It is of great importance to treat a bacterial-infected wound by a smart dressing capable of delivering antibiotics in a smart manner without causing drug resistance. The construction of smart release nanocontainers responsive to near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation in an on-demand and stepwise way is a promising strategy for avoiding the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, we develop a hydrogel composite made of alginate and nanotubes with an efficient NIR-triggered release of rifampicin and outstanding antibacterial ability. This composite hydrogel is prepared through co-encapsulating antibacterial drug (rifampicin), NIR-absorbing dye (indocyanine green), and phase-change materials (a eutectic mixture of fatty acids) into halloysite nanotubes, followed by incorporation into alginate hydrogels, allowing the in-situ gelation at room temperature and maintaining the integrity of drug-loaded nanotubes. Among them, the eutectic mixture with a melting point of 39 °C serves as the biocompatible phase-change material to facilitate the NIR-triggered drug release. The resultant phase-change material gated-nanotubes exhibit a prominent photothermal efficiency with multistep drug release under laser irradiation. In an in vitro assay, composite hydrogel provides good antibacterial potency against Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most prevalent microorganisms of dangerous gas gangrene. A bacterial-infected rat full-thickness wound model demonstrates that the NIR-responsive composite hydrogel inhibits the bacteria colonization and suppresses the inflammatory response caused by bacteria, promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition to accelerate wound regeneration. The NIR-responsive composite hydrogel has a great potential as an antibacterial wound dressing functionalized with controlled multistep treatment of the infected sites. Phase change material-gated nanocontainer exhibits an efficient NIR-triggered release of drugs. Photothermal-responsive hydrogel shows efficient antibacterial properties through the NIR-responsive step-wise antibacterial drug release. In vivo, photothermal-responsive hydrogel inhibits bacterial proliferation and effectively suppress the inflammatory response caused by bacteria, thus accelerating bacteria-infected wound regeneration. Various types of drugs and biological effectors can be loaded in the nanotubes while the hydrogel matrix can also be regulated to achieve multiple healing functions.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms are highly protected surface attached communities of bacteria that typically cause chronic infections. To address their recalcitrance to antibiotics and minimise side effects of current therapies, smart drug carriers are being explored as promising platforms for antimicrobials. Herein, we briefly summarize recent efforts and considerations that have been applied in the design of these smart carriers. We guide readers on a journey on how they can leverage the inherent biofilm microenvironment, external stimuli, or combine both types of stimuli in a predictable manner. The specific carrier features that are responsible for their 'on-demand' properties are detailed and their impact on antibiofilm property are further discussed. Moreover, an analysis on the impact of such features on drug release profiles is provided. Since nanotechnology represents a significant slice of the drug delivery pie, some insights on the potential toxicity are also depicted. We hope that this review inspires researchers to use their knowledge and creativity to design responsive systems that can eradicate biofilm infections.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disease that occurs mostly in the state of hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose level). In the recent times, diabetes is listed under world's utmost critical health issues. Wound treatment procedures are complicated in diabetic individuals all over the world. Diabetic wound care not only involves high-cost, but also the primary cause of hospitalization, which can lead to amputation thereby reducing diabetic patient life expectancy. To lower the risk of amputation, wound healing requires the development of effective treatments. Traditional management systems for Diabetes are frequently chastised due to their high costs, difficulties in maintaining a sustainable supply chain and limited disposal alternatives. The worrisome rise in diabetes prevalence has sparked a surge of interest in the discovery of viable remedies to supplement existing treatments. Nanomaterials wound healing has a lot of potential for treating and preventing wound infections and it has recently gained popularity owing to its ability to transport drugs to the wound area in a regulated fashion, potentially overpowering the limits of traditional approaches. This research assessed several nanosystems, such as nanocarriers and nanotherapeutics, to explore how they can benefit in diabetic wound healing, with a focus on current obstacles and future prospects.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a global health issue and a potential risk for society. Antibiotics administered through conventional formulations are devoid of targeting effect and often spread to various undesired body sites, leading to sub-lethal concentrations at the site of action and thus resulting in emergence of resistance, as well as side effects. Moreover, we have a very slim antibiotic pipeline. Drug-delivery systems have been designed to control the rate, time, and site of drug release, and innovative approaches for antibiotic delivery provide a glint of hope for addressing these issues. This review elaborates different delivery strategies and approaches employed to overcome the limitations of conventional antibiotic therapy. These include antibiotic conjugates, prodrugs, and nanocarriers for local and targeted antibiotic release. In addition, a wide range of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers and biological carriers for targeted antibiotic delivery are discussed. The potential advantages and limitations of targeted antibiotic delivery strategies are described along with possible solutions to avoid these limitations. A number of antibiotics successfully delivered through these approaches with attained outcomes and potentials are reviewed.

Abstract
Each year a rising number of infections can not be successfully treated owing to the increasing pandemic of antibiotic resistant pathogens. The global shortage of innovative antibiotics fuels the emergence and spread of drug resistant microbes. Basic research, development, and applications of alternative therapies are urgently needed. Since the 90´s, light-mediated therapies have promised to be the next frontier combating multidrug-resistance microbes. These platforms have demonstrated to be a reliable, rapid, and efficient alternative to eliminate tenacious pathogens while avoiding the emergence of resistance mechanisms. Among the materials showing antimicrobial activity triggered by light, conjugated polymers (CPs) have risen as the most promising option to tackle this complex situation. These materials present outstanding characteristics such as high absorption coefficients, great photostability, easy processability, low cytotoxicity, among others, turning them into a powerful class of photosensitizer (PS)/photothermal agent (PTA) materials. Herein, we summarize and discuss the advances in the field of CPs with applications in photodynamic inactivation and photothermal therapy towards bacteria elimination. Additionally, a section of current challenges and needs in terms of well-defined benchmark experiments and conditions to evaluate the efficiency of phototherapies is presented.

Abstract
The combination of hyperthermia and chemotherapy has attracted significant attention in local cancer treatment following surgical resection. Pyrrole is a potent photothermal agent that can induce a temperature rise at different concentrations in the surrounding medium by absorbing near-infrared radiation (NIR). In this study, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were used to make nanofibers using the electrospinning process. Then, pyrrole in different concentrations of (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) M was attached to the surface of PCL-PLGA fiber mats by in situ polymerization, which was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. A concentration-dependent local temperature rise was observed using a FLIR camera under near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. For the hyperthermia effect, pyrrole concentration (0.06 M) was used for in vitro drug release studies and cell viability assays because under NIR irradiation (2 W/cm2, 3 min), it increased the local temperature to around 45 °C. In vitro drug release studies confirmed that NIR irradiation increased the diffusion rate of doxorubicin (DOX) by increasing the environmental temperature above the glass transition temperature of PLGA. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments further confirmed that PCL-PLGA-DOX/PPy fiber mats showed an enhanced inhibitory effect against CT26 and MCF7 cells by the combination of hyperthermia and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Low-temperature photothermal therapy (PTT) systems constructed by integrating organic photothermal agents with other bactericidal components that initiate bacterial apoptosis at low hyperthermia possess a promising prospect. However, these multicomponent low-temperature PTT nanoplatforms have drawbacks in terms of the tedious construction process, suboptimal synergy effect of diverse antibacterial therapies, and high laser dose needed, compromising their biosafety in ocular bacterial infection treatment. Herein, a mild PTT nanotherapeutic platform is formulated via the self-assembly of a pH-responsive phenothiazinium dye. These organic nanoparticles with photothermal conversion efficiency up to 84.5% necessitate only an ultralow light dose of 36 J/cm2 to achieve efficient low-temperature photothermal bacterial inhibition at pH 5.5 under 650 nm laser irradiation. In addition, this intelligent mild photothermal nanoplatform undergoes negative to positive charge reversion in acid biofilms, exhibiting good penetration and highly efficient elimination of drug-resistant E. coli biofilms under photoirradiation. Further in vivo animal tests demonstrated efficient bacterial elimination and inflammatory mitigation as well as superior biocompatibility and biosafety of the photothermal nanoparticles in ocular bacterial infection treatment. Overall, this efficient single-component mild PTT system featuring simple construction processes holds great potential for wide application and clinical transformation.

Abstract
Recent advances in emerging nanocarriers and stimuli-responsive (SR) delivery systems have brought about a revolution in the food and pharmaceutical industries. SR carriers are able to release the encapsulated bioactive compounds (bioactives) upon an external trigger. The potential of releasing the loaded bioactives in site-specific is of great importance for the pharmaceutical industry and medicine that can deliver the cargo in an appropriate condition. For the food industry, release of encapsulated bioactives is considerably important in processing or storage of food products and can be used in their formulation or packaging. There are various stimuli to control the favorite release of bioactives. In this review, we will shed light on the effect of different stimuli such as temperature, humidity, pH, light, enzymatic hydrolysis, redox, and also multiple stimuli on the release of encapsulated cargo and their potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. An overview of cargo release mechanisms is also discussed. Furthermore, various alternatives to manipulate the controlled release of bioactives from carriers and the perspective of more progress in these SR carriers are highlighted.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a predominant chronic metabolic syndrome, resulting in various complications and high mortality associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Approximately 15-30% of diabetic patients suffer from DFUs, which is expected to increase annually. The major challenges in treating DFUs are associated with wound infections, alterations to inflammatory responses, angiogenesis and lack of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Furthermore, the lack of targeted therapy and efficient wound dressings for diabetic wounds often results in extended hospitalization and limb amputations. Hence, it is essential to develop and improve DFU-specific therapies. Nanomaterial-based innovative approaches have tremendous potential for preventing and treating wound infections of bacterial origin. They have greater benefits compared to traditional wound dressing approaches. In this approach, the physiochemical features of nanomaterials allow researchers to employ different methods for diabetic wound healing applications. In this review, the status and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and amputations due to DFUs in India, the pathophysiology of DFUs and their complications are discussed. Additionally, nanomaterial-based approaches such as the use of nanoemulsions, nanoparticles, nanoliposomes and nanofibers for the treatment of DFUs are studied. Besides, emerging therapeutics such as bioengineered skin substitutes and nanomaterial-based innovative approaches such as antibacterial hyperthermia therapy and gene therapy for the treatment of DFUs are highlighted. The present nanomaterial-based techniques provide a strong base for future therapeutic approaches for skin regeneration strategies in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The continuously increasing bacterial resistance has become a big threat to public health worldwide, which makes it urgent to develop innovative antibacterial strategies. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are considered as promising strategies in combating bacterial infections which are expected to improve the therapeutic efficacy and minimize the side effects. Unfortunately, the conventional nanodrug delivery systems always suffer from practical dilemmas, including incomplete and slow drug release, insufficient accumulation in infected sites, and weak biofilm penetration ability. Stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms are hence developed to overcome the disadvantages of conventional nanoparticles. In this review, we provide an extensive review of the recent progress of endogenous and exogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms in the antibacterial area, including planktonic bacteria, intracellular bacteria, and bacterial biofilms. Taking advantage of the specific infected microenvironment (pH, enzyme, redox, and toxin), the mechanisms and strategies of the design of endogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms are discussed, with an emphasis on how to improve the therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects. How to realize controlled drug delivery using exogenous stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms especially light-responsive nanoparticles for improved antibacterial effects is another topic of this review. We especially highlight photothermal-triggered drug delivery systems by the combination of photothermal agents and thermo-responsive materials. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
Conventional wound closure and dressing are two crucial, time-consuming but isolated principles in wound care. Even though tissue adhesive opens a new era for wound closure, the method and biomaterial that can simultaneously achieve noninvasive wound closure and promote wound healing are highly appreciated. Herein, a novel supramolecular poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) hybrid hydrogel dressing composed of quaternized chitosan-graft-β-cyclodextrin, adenine, and polypyrrole nanotubes via host-guest interaction and hydrogen bonds is developed. The hydrogel demonstrates thermal contraction of 47% remaining area after 2 h at 37 ℃ and tissue adhesion of 5.74 kPa, which are essential for noninvasive wound closure, and multiple mechanical and biological properties including suitable mechanical properties, self-healing, on-demand removal, antioxidant, hemostasis, and photothermal/intrinsic antibacterial activity (higher 99% killing ratio within 5 min after irradiation). In both full-thickness skin incision and excision wound models, the hydrogel reveals significant wound closure after 24 h post-surgery. In acute and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound and photothermal/intrinsic antibacterial activity assays, wounds treated with the hydrogel demonstrate enhanced wound healing with rapid wound closure rate, mild inflammatory response, advanced angiogenesis, and well-arranged collagen fibers. Altogether, the results indicate the hydrogel is promising in synchronously noninvasive wound closure and enhanced wound healing.

Abstract
The spread of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-positive pathogens represents a threat to human health. To counteract the current lack of novel antibiotics, alternative antibacterial treatments have been increasingly investigated. This review covers the last decade's developments in using nanoparticles as carriers for the two classes of frontline antibiotics active on multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, i.e., glycopeptide antibiotics and daptomycin. Most of the reviewed papers deal with vancomycin nanoformulations, being teicoplanin- and daptomycin-carrying nanosystems much less investigated. Special attention is addressed to nanoantibiotics used for contrasting biofilm-associated infections. The status of the art related to nanoantibiotic toxicity is critically reviewed.

Abstract
In this work, with the aim to obtain a wound dressing hydrogel, an amine derivative of gellan gum was crosslinked in the presence of 4arm-polyethylenglycole-vinylsulfone. Through this easy and reproducible chemical procedure, a hydrogel with advanced elastic properties and hydrolytic resistance under physiological conditions was obtained. The incorporation of different quantities of polydopamine in the gelling solutions allows to obtain different hydrogels with marked photothermal properties when irradiated with a laser in the near infrared at 810 nm. The organic nanoparticles, reacting with the amino groups of the polysaccharide derivative, contribute to increase the storage moduli of the hydrogels. Ciprofloxacin was loaded into the hydrogel with higher amount of polydopamine and drug delivery experiments were performed to investigate the effect of irradiation on the antibiotic release profile. Antimicrobial studies, evaluated against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, revealed that generated hyperthermia exerts a direct inhibition on the pathogens growth and, in the case of S. aureus, adjuvates the ciprofloxacin antimicrobial effect.

Abstract
Conductive biomaterials based on conductive polymers, carbon nanomaterials, or conductive inorganic nanomaterials demonstrate great potential in wound healing and skin tissue engineering, owing to the similar conductivity to human skin, good antioxidant and antibacterial activities, electrically controlled drug delivery, and photothermal effect. However, a review highlights the design and application of conductive biomaterials for wound healing and skin tissue engineering is lacking. In this review, the design and fabrication methods of conductive biomaterials with various structural forms including film, nanofiber, membrane, hydrogel, sponge, foam, and acellular dermal matrix for applications in wound healing and skin tissue engineering and the corresponding mechanism in promoting the healing process were summarized. The approaches that conductive biomaterials realize their great value in healing wounds via three main strategies (electrotherapy, wound dressing, and wound assessment) were reviewed. The application of conductive biomaterials as wound dressing when facing different wounds including acute wound and chronic wound (infected wound and diabetic wound) and for wound monitoring is discussed in detail. The challenges and perspectives in designing and developing multifunctional conductive biomaterials are proposed as well.

Abstract
The prevention and control of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses is a herculean task for all the countries since they greatly threaten global public health. Rapid detection and effective elimination of these pathogens is crucial for the treatment of related diseases. It is urgently demanded to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to combat bacteria, fungi, and viruses-induced infections. The emergence of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens) is a revolutionary breakthrough for the treatment of many diseases, including pathogenic infections. In this review, the main focus is on the applications of AIEgens for theranostic treatment of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Due to the AIE characteristic, AIEgens are promising fluorescent probes for the detection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses with excellent sensitivity and photostability. Moreover, AIEgen-based theranostic platforms can be fabricated by introducing bactericidal moieties or designing AIE photosensitizers and AIE photothermal agents. The current strategies and ongoing developments of AIEgens for the treatment of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Injudicious use of antibiotics has been the main driver of severe bacterial non-susceptibility to commonly available antibiotics (known as drug resistance or antimicrobial resistance), a global threat to human health and healthcare. There is an increase in the incidence and levels of resistance to antibacterial drugs not only in nosocomial settings but also in community ones. The drying pipeline of new and effective antibiotics has further worsened the situation and is leading to a potentially "post-antibiotic era." This requires novel and effective therapies and therapeutic agents for combating drug-resistant pathogenic microbes. Nanomaterials are emerging as potent antimicrobial agents with both bactericidal and potentiating effects reported against drug-resistant microbes. Among them, the photothermally active nanomaterials (PANs) are gaining attention for their broad-spectrum antibacterial potencies driven mainly by the photothermal effect, which is characterized by the conversion of absorbed photon energy into heat energy by the PANs. The current review capitalizes on the importance of using PANs as an effective approach for overcoming bacterial resistance to drugs. Various PANs leveraging broad-spectrum therapeutic antibacterial (both bactericidal and synergistic) potentials against drug-resistant pathogens have been discussed. The review also provides deeper mechanistic insights into the mechanisms of the action of PANs against a variety of drug-resistant pathogens with a critical evaluation of efflux pumps, cell membrane permeability, biofilm, and quorum sensing inhibition. We also discuss the use of PANs as drug carriers. This review also discusses possible cytotoxicities related to the therapeutic use of PANs and effective strategies to overcome this. Recent developments, success stories, challenges, and prospects are also presented.

Abstract
Core-shell particles are very well known for their unique features. Their distinctive inner core and outer shell structure allowed promising biomedical applications at both nanometer and micrometer scales. The primary role of core-shell particles is to deliver the loaded drugs as they are capable of sequence-controlled release and provide protection of drugs. Among other biomedical polymers, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), a food and drug administration (FDA)-approved polymer, has been recognized for the vehicle material. This review introduces PLGA core-shell nano/microparticles and summarizes various drug-delivery systems based on these particles for cancer therapy and tissue regeneration. Tissue regeneration mainly includes bone, cartilage, and periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of infections from multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is a global health problem. It has been amplified over the past few years due to the increase in adaptive traits in bacteria and lack of advanced treatment strategies. Because of the low bioavailability and limited penetration at infected sites, the existing antibiotics often fail to resist bacterial growth. Recently, developed stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems and combinatorial therapeutic systems based on nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, hydrogels, and organic chromophores offer the ability to improve the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics by reducing drug resistance and other side effects. These therapeutic systems have been designed with the relevant chemical and physical properties that respond to specific triggers resulting in spatiotemporal controlled release and site-specific transportability. This review highlights the latest development of single and dual/multistimuli-responsive antibiotic delivery systems for combination therapies to treat MDR bacterial infections and biofilm eradication.

Abstract
Resistance to antimicrobial agents has been alarming in recent years and poses a huge public health threat globally according to the WHO. The increase in morbidity and mortality resulting from microbial infections has been attributed to the emergence of multidrug-resistant microbes. Associated with the increase in multidrug resistance is the lack of new and effective antimicrobials. This has led to global initiatives to identify novel and more effective antimicrobial agents in addition to discovering novel and effective drug delivery and targeting methods. The use of nanoparticles as novel biomaterials to fully achieve this feat is currently gaining global attention. Nanoparticles could become an indispensable viable therapeutic option for treating drug-resistant infections. Of all the nanoparticles, the metals and metal oxide nanoparticles appear to offer the most promise and have attracted tremendous interest from many researchers. Moreover, the use of nanomaterials in photothermal therapy has received considerable attention over the years. This review provides current insight on antimicrobial resistance as well as the mechanisms of nanoparticle antibacterial activity. It offers an in-depth review of all the recent findings in the use of nanomaterials as agents against multi-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Also, nanomaterials that can respond to light stimuli (photothermal therapy) to kill microbes and facilitate enhanced drug delivery and release are discussed. Moreover, the synergistic interactions of nanoparticles with antibiotics and other nanomaterials, microbial adaptation strategies to nanoparticles, current challenges, and future prospects were extensively discussed.

Abstract
New strategies to efficiently treat bacterial infections are crucial to circumvent the increase of resistant strains and to mitigate side effects during treatment. Skin and soft tissue infections represent one of the areas suffering the most from these resistant strains. We developed a new drug delivery system composed of the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which is generally recognized as safe, to target specifically skin diseases. A two-step functionalization strategy was used to chemically modify the algae with the antibiotic vancomycin. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was found to mask vancomycin and the insertion of a photocleavable linker was used for the release of the antibiotic. This living drug carrier was evaluated in presence of Bacillus subtilis and, only upon UVA1-mediated release, growth inhibition of bacteria was observed. These results represent one of the first examples of a living organism used as a drug delivery system for the release of an antibiotic by UVA1-irradiation.

Abstract
The development of nanomedicine is expected to provide an innovative direction for addressing challenges associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. In the past decades, although nanotechnology-based phototherapy has been developed for antimicrobial treatment since it rarely causes bacterial resistance, the clinical application of single-mode phototherapy has been limited due to poor tissue penetration of light sources. Therefore, combinatorial strategies are being developed. In this review, we first summarized the current phototherapy agents, which were classified into two functional categories: organic phototherapy agents (e.g., small molecule photosensitizers, small molecule photosensitizer-loaded nanoparticles and polymer-based photosensitizers) and inorganic phototherapy agents (e.g., carbo-based nanomaterials, metal-based nanomaterials, composite nanomaterials and quantum dots). Then the development of emerging phototherapy-based combinatorial strategies, including combination with chemotherapy, combination with chemodynamic therapy, combination with gas therapy, and multiple combination therapy, are presented and future directions are further discussed. The purpose of this review is to highlight the potential of phototherapy to deal with bacterial infections and to propose that the combination therapy strategy is an effective way to solve the challenges of single-mode phototherapy.

Abstract
Increasing penetration of antibacterial agents into biofilm is a promising strategy for improvement of therapeutic effect and slowdown of the progression of antibiotic resistance. Herein, we design a near-infrared (NIR) light-driven nanoswimmer (HSMV). Under NIR light irradiation, HSMV performs efficient self-propulsion and penetrates into the biofilm within 5 min due to photothermal conversion of asymmetrically distributed AuNPs. The localized thermal (∼45 °C) and thermal-triggered release of vancomycin (Van) leads to an efficient combination of photothermal therapy and chemotherapy in one system. The active motion of HSMV increases the effective distance of photothermal therapy (PTT) and also improves the therapeutic index of the antibiotic, resulting in superior biofilm removal rate (>90%) in vitro. Notably, HSMV can eliminate S. aureus biofilms grown in vivo under 10 min of laser irradiation without damage to healthy tissues. This work may shed light on therapeutic strategies for in vivo treatment of biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
Photothermal sterilization is a promising and effective treatment method in treating bacterial infection. Generally, a widely employed light source in photothermal sterilization inevitably damages the skin tissue due to the high-intensity irradiation dose. How to provide useful antibacterial outcomes without light-triggered skin damage is a challenge for photothermal sterilization. In this work, a novel antibacterial hydrogel (VAT hydrogel, the abbreviation for vancomycin-agarose-ferric tannate hydrogel) has been successfully constructed by the natural polysaccharide hydrogel (AG) encapsulating ferric tannate (TA-Fe) nanoparticles and vancomycin. The VAT hydrogel exhibited the outstanding photothermal properties and controllable antibiotics release. With the results of antibacterial assays, the VAT hydrogel revealed the superior effectiveness of synergistic wound disinfection by the low-intensity near-infrared light-triggered spatiotemporal antibiotics release and hyperthermia. More importantly, the VAT hydrogels possessed the good biocompatibility. With the outstanding synergistic sterilizing effect and excellent biocompatibility, the VAT hydrogel would be a promising candidate for bacteria-associated wound infections.

Abstract
The challenge in antimicrobial photothermal therapy (PTT) is to develop strategies for decreasing the damage to cells and increasing the antibacterial efficiency. Herein, we report a novel theranostic strategy based on bacteria-induced gold nanoparticle (GNP) aggregation, in which GNPs in situ aggregated on the bacterial surface via specific targeting of vancomycin and bioorthogonal cycloaddition. Plasmonic coupling between adjacent GNPs exhibited a strong "hot spot" effect, enabling effective surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging of bacterial pathogens. More importantly, in situ aggregation of GNPs showed strong NIR adsorption and high photothermal conversion, allowing enhanced photokilling activity against Gram-positive bacteria. In the absence of bacterial strains, GNPs were dispersed and showed a very low photothermal effect, minimizing the side effects towards surrounding healthy tissues. Given the above advantages, the bioorthogonal theranostic strategy developed in this study may find potential applications in treating bacterial infection and even multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
The progressive development of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), as a subfamily of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and their unique features, including tunable pore size, large surface area, high thermal stability, and biodegradability/biocompatibility, have made them attractive in the field of biomedicine, especially for drug delivery and biomineralization applications. The high porosity of ZIFs gives them the opportunity for encapsulating a high amount of therapeutic drugs, proteins, imaging cargos, or a combination of them to construct advanced multifunctional drug delivery systems (DDSs) with combined therapeutic and imaging capabilities. This review summarizes recent strategies on the design and fabrication of ZIF-based nansystems and their exploration in the biomedical field. First, recent developments for the adjustment of particle size, functionality, and morphology of ZIFs are discussed, which are important for achieving optimized therapeutic/theranostic nanosystems. Second, recent trends on the application of ZIF nanocarriers for the loading of diverse cargos, including anticancer medicines, antibiotic drugs, enzymes, proteins, photosensitizers, as well as imaging and photothermal agents, are investigated in order to understand how multifunctional DDSs can be designed based on the ZIF nanoparticles to treat different diseases, such as cancer and infection. Finally, prospects on the future research direction and applications of ZIF-based nanomedicines are discussed.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based wound healing has tremendous potential for treating and preventing wound infections with its multiple benefits compared with traditional treatment approaches. In this regard, the physiochemical properties of nanomaterials enable researchers to conduct extensive studies on wound-healing applications. Nonetheless, issues concerning the use of nanomaterials in accelerating the efficacy of existing medical treatments remain unresolved. The present review highlights novel approaches focusing on the recent innovative strategies for wound healing and infection controls based on nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and scaffolds, which are elucidated in detail. In addition, the efficacy of nanomaterials as carriers for therapeutic agents associated with wound-healing applications has been addressed. Finally, nanomaterial-based scaffolds and their premise for future studies have been described. We believe that the in-depth analytical review, future insights, and potential challenges described herein will provide researchers an up-to-date reference on the use of nanomedicine and its innovative approaches that can enhance wound-healing applications.

Abstract
Global multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are spreading rapidly and causing a great threat to human health due to the abuse of antibiotics. Determining how to resensitize MDR bacteria to conventional inefficient antibiotics is of extreme urgency. Here, a low-temperature photothermal treatment (PTT, 45 °C) is utilized with red phosphorus nanoparticles to resensitize methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to conventional aminoglycoside antibiotics. The antibacterial mechanism is studied by the proteomic technique and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, which proves that the aminoglycoside antibiotics against MRSA can be selectively potentiated by low-temperature PTT. The catalytic activity of 2-aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (APH (2″))-a modifying enzyme-is demonstrated to be obviously inhibited via detecting the consumption of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the catalytic reaction. It is also found that the active site of aspartic acid (ASP) residues in APH (2″) is thermally unstable from the results of molecular dynamics simulation. Its catalytic ability is inhibited by preventing the deprotonating procedure for the target -OH of gentamycin. The combined therapy also exhibits great biocompatibility and successfully treats MRSA infections in vivo. This low-temperature PTT strategy has the potential to be an exogenous-modifying enzyme inhibitor for the treatment of MDR bacterial infection.

Thermo-responsive triple-function nanotransporter for efficient chemo-photothermal therapy of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection. Nat Commun 2019; 10:4336. [PMID: 31551496 PMCID: PMC6760232 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-12313-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 180] [Impact Index Per Article: 36.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
New strategies with high antimicrobial efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacteria are urgently desired. Herein, we describe a smart triple-functional nanostructure, namely TRIDENT (Thermo-Responsive-Inspired Drug-Delivery Nano-Transporter), for reliable bacterial eradication. The robust antibacterial effectiveness is attributed to the integrated fluorescence monitoring and synergistic chemo-photothermal killing. We notice that temperature rises generated by near-infrared irradiation did not only melt the nanotransporter via a phase change mechanism, but also irreversibly damaged bacterial membranes to facilitate imipenem permeation, thus interfering with cell wall biosynthesis and eventually leading to rapid bacterial death. Both in vitro and in vivo evidence demonstrate that even low doses of imipenem-encapsulated TRIDENT could eradicate clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, whereas imipenem alone had limited effect. Due to rapid recovery of infected sites and good biosafety we envision a universal antimicrobial platform to fight against multidrug-resistant or extremely drug-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is a major global health challenge. Here, the authors report on a thermoresponsive delivery system for combined photothermal and antibiotic delivery with fluorescent tracking abilities and demonstrate application against antibiotic resistant bacteria in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The vigorous development of nanotechnology has been accompanied by an equally strong interest and research efforts in nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs). However, only a few NDDSs have been translated into clinic thus far. One of the important hurdles is the lack of tools to comprehensively and directly trace the biological fate of NDDSs. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores have emerged as attractive bioimaging tools due to flexible controllability, negligible toxicity and superior photostability. Herein, we recapitulate the current advances in the application of AIE fluorophores to monitor NDDSs both in vitro and in vivo. Particularly, we discuss the cellular fates of self-indicating and stimuli-responsive NDDSs with AIE fluorophores. Moreover, we highlight the in vivo application of AIE agents on the long-term tracking of therapeutics and the multi-modal monitoring of diagnostics in NDDSs. Challenges and opportunities in AIE-guided exploration of NDDSs are also discussed in detail.
