Baicalein loaded liposome with hyaluronic acid and Polyhexamethylene guanidine modification for anti methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133432. [PMID: 38936579 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133432] [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: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Targeting delivery to the infection site and good affinity of vehicle to the bacterial are two main concerns in therapy of bacterial infection, and on-demand release of drug is another important issue. In this work, a liposome drug delivery system (HA/P/BAI-lip) incorporated with baicalein and modified by PHMG and HA was prepared. Several characterizations were conducted to examine the physical properties of liposome. Then it was applied to treatments of MRSA induced dorsal subcutaneous abscess model and the thigh muscle infected model. The presence of guanidine group in HA/P/BAI-lip rendered the liposome satisfactory bacterial target ability and good pH sensitive properties. The lipase secreted by bacterial could promote the hydrolysis of soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) in liposome. The modification of HA in HA/P/BAI-lip could lead the drug system to the exact infected site where CD44 was abundant because of inflammation. The low pH microenvironment characteristic of bacterial infection could induce the swelling of liposome following by degradation. Taken together, baicalein could be released selectively at the infected site to exert antibacterial capacity. HA/P/BAI-lip showed impressive antibacterial ability and dramatically decrease the bacterial burden of infection site and alleviate the infiltration of inflammatory cells, facilitating the recovery of infection.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilms commonly cause chronic and persistent infections in humans. Bacterial biofilms consist of an inner layer of bacteria and an autocrine extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm dispersants (abbreviated as dispersants) have proven effective in removing the bacterial physical protection barrier EPS. Dispersants are generally weak or have no bactericidal effect. Bacteria dispersed from within biofilms (abbreviated as dispersed bacteria) may be more invasive, adhesive, and motile than planktonic bacteria, characteristics that increase the probability that dispersed bacteria will recolonize and cause reinfection. The dispersants should be combined with antimicrobials to avoid the risk of severe reinfection. Dispersant-based nanoparticles have the advantage of specific release and intense penetration, providing the prerequisite for further antibacterial agent efficacy and achieving the eradication of biofilms. Dispersant-based nanoparticles delivered antimicrobial agents for the treatment of diseases associated with bacterial biofilm infections are expected to be an effective measure to prevent reinfection caused by dispersed bacteria. KEY POINTS: • Dispersed bacteria harm and the dispersant's dispersion mechanisms are discussed. • The advantages of dispersant-based nanoparticles in bacteria biofilms are discussed. • Dispersant-based nanoparticles for cutting off reinfection in vivo are highlighted.

Abstract
Microbial virulence and biofilm formation stand as a big concern against the goal of achieving a green and sustainable future. Microbial pathogenesis is the process by which the microbes (bacterial, fungal, and viral) cause illness in their respective host organism. 'Nanotechnology' is a state-of-art discipline to address this problem. The use of conventional techniques against microbial proliferation has been challenging against the environment. To tackle this problem, there has been a revolution in this multi-disciplinary field, to address the aspect of bioinspired nanomaterials in the antibiofilm and antimicrobial sector. Bioinspired nanomaterials prove to be a potential antibiofilm and antimicrobial agent as they are non-hazardous to the environment and mostly synthesized using a single-step reduction protocol. They exhibit synergistic effects against bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens and thereby, control the virulence. In this literature review, we have elucidated the potential of bioinspired nanoparticles as well as nanomaterials as a promising anti-microbial treatment pedagogy and throw light on the advancements in how smart photo-switchable platforms have been designed to exhibit both bacterial releasing as well as bacterial-killing properties. Certain limitations and possible outcomes of these bio-based nanomaterials have been discussed in the hope of achieving a green and sustainable ecosystem.

Abstract
Nanodrug delivery systems based on tumor microenvironment responses have shown excellent performance in tumor-targeted therapy, given their unique targeting and drug-release characteristics. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been widely explored owing to their high specificity and expression in various tumor microenvironments. The design of an enzyme-sensitive nanodelivery system using MMPs as targeted receptors could markedly improve the performance of drug targeting. The current review focuses on the development and application of MMP-responsive drug carriers, and summarizes the classification of single- and multi-target nanocarriers based on their MMP responsiveness. The potential applications and challenges of this nanodrug delivery system are discussed to provide a reference for designing high-performance nanodrug delivery systems.

Abstract
In recent decades, due to insufficient concentration at the lesion site, low bioavailability and increasingly serious resistance, antibiotics have become less and less dominant in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. It promotes the development of efficient drug delivery systems, and is expected to achieve high absorption, targeted drug release and satisfactory therapy effects. A variety of endogenous stimulation-responsive nanosystems have been constructed by using special infection microenvironments (pH, enzymes, temperature, etc.). In this review, we firstly provide an extensive review of the current research progress in antibiotic treatment dilemmas and drug delivery systems. Then, the mechanism of microenvironment characteristics of bacterial infected lesions was elucidated to provide a strong theoretical basis for bacteria-targeting nanosystems design. In particular, the discussion focuses on the design principles of single-stimulus and dual-stimulus responsive nanosystems, as well as the use of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems to deliver antimicrobial agents to target locations for combating bacterial infectious diseases. Finally, the challenges and prospects of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems were summarized.

Abstract
The escalating global prevalence of antimicrobial resistance poses a critical threat, prompting concerns about its impact on public health. This predicament is exacerbated by the acute shortage of novel antimicrobial agents, a scarcity attributed to the rapid surge in bacterial resistance. This review delves into the realm of antimicrobial peptides, a diverse class of compounds ubiquitously present in plants and animals across various natural organisms. Renowned for their intrinsic antibacterial activity, these peptides provide a promising avenue to tackle the intricate challenge of bacterial resistance. However, the clinical utility of peptide-based drugs is hindered by limited bioavailability and susceptibility to rapid degradation, constraining efforts to enhance the efficacy of bacterial infection treatments. The emergence of nanocarriers marks a transformative approach poised to revolutionize peptide delivery strategies. This review elucidates a promising framework involving nanocarriers within the realm of antimicrobial peptides. This paradigm enables meticulous and controlled peptide release at infection sites by detecting dynamic shifts in microenvironmental factors, including pH, ROS, GSH, and reactive enzymes. Furthermore, a glimpse into the future reveals the potential of targeted delivery mechanisms, harnessing inflammatory responses and intricate signaling pathways, including adenosine triphosphate, macrophage receptors, and pathogenic nucleic acid entities. This approach holds promise in fortifying immunity, thereby amplifying the potency of peptide-based treatments. In summary, this review spotlights peptide nanosystems as prospective solutions for combating bacterial infections. By bridging antimicrobial peptides with advanced nanomedicine, a new therapeutic era emerges, poised to confront the formidable challenge of antimicrobial resistance head-on.

This review examines the current landscape of drug delivery strategies for effective TB management, specifically highlighting lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, emulsion-based systems, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and hydrogels as promising approaches. Furthermore, emerging therapeutic strategies like targeted therapy, long-acting therapeutics, extrapulmonary therapy, phototherapy, and immunotherapy are emphasized. The review also discusses the future trajectory and challenges of developing drug delivery systems for TB. In conclusion, nanomedicine has made substantial progress in addressing the challenges posed by conventional TB drugs. Moreover, by harnessing the unique targeting abilities, extended duration of action, and specificity of advanced therapeutics, innovative solutions are offered that have the potential to revolutionize TB therapy, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and patient compliance.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a huge threat to the health of human beings and animals. The abuse of antibiotics have led to the occurrence of bacterial multidrug resistance, which have become a difficult problem in the treatment of clinical infections. Given the outstanding advantages of nanodrug delivery systems in cancer treatment, many scholars have begun to pay attention to their application in bacterial infections. However, due to the similarity of the microenvironment between bacterial infection lesions and cancer sites, the targeting and accuracy of traditional microenvironment-responsive nanocarriers are questionable. Therefore, finding new specific targets has become a new development direction of nanocarriers in bacterial prevention and treatment. This article reviews the infectious microenvironment induced by bacteria and a series of virulence factors of common pathogenic bacteria and their physiological functions, which may be used as potential targets to improve the targeting accuracy of nanocarriers in lesions.

Surface-charge-switch triggered self assembly of vancomycin modified carbon nanodots for enhanced photothermal eradication of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci biofilms. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113207. [PMID: 36801745 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113207] [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: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/14/2023]
Abstract
A new type of vancomycin (Van)-modified carbon nanodots (CNDs@Van) with pH-responsive surface charge switchable activity was successfully developed by covalently cross-linking Van on the surface of carbon nanodots (CNDs). Polymeric Van was formed on the surface of CNDs by covalent modification, which enhanced the targeted binding of CNDs@Van to vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) biofilms and effectively reduced the carboxyl groups on the surface of CNDs to achieve pH-responsive surface charge switching. Most importantly, CNDs@Van was free at pH 7.4, but assembled at pH 5.5 owing to surface charge switching from negative to zero, resulting in remarkably enhanced near-infrared (NIR) absorption and photothermal properties. CNDs@Van exhibited good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and weak hemolytic effects under physiological conditions (pH 7.4). Regarding targeted binding to VRE bacteria, CNDs@Van self-assembled in a weakly acidic environment (pH 5.5) generated by VRE biofilms, giving enhanced photokilling effects in in vitro and in vivo assays. Therefore, potentially, CNDs@Van can be used as a novel antimicrobial agent against VRE bacterial infections and their biofilms.

Abstract
Superbugs, also known as multidrug-resistant bacteria, have become a lethal and persistent threat due to their unresponsiveness toward conventional antibiotics. The main reason for this is that superbugs can rapidly mutate and restrict any foreign drug/molecule in their vicinity. Herein, nanomaterial-mediated therapies have set their path and shown burgeoning efficiency toward the ablation of superbugs. Notably, treatment modalities like photothermal therapy (PTT) have shown prominence in killing multidrug-resistant bacteria with their ability to generate local heat shock-mediated hyperthermia in such species. However, photothermal treatment has some serious limitations, such as high cost, complexity, and even toxicity to some extent. Hence, it is important to resolve such shortcomings of PTTs as they provide substantial tissue penetration. This is why multimodal PTTs have emerged and taken over this domain of research for the past few years. In this work, we have summarized and critically reviewed such exceptional works of recent times and provided a perspective to enhance their efficiencies. Profoundly, we discuss the design rationales of some novel photothermal agents (PTAs) and shed light on their mechanisms. Finally, challenges for PTT-derived multimodal therapy are presented, and capable synergistic bactericidal prospects are anticipated.

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
Bacterial infection is one of the leading causes of death globally, although modern medicine has made considerable strides in the past century. As traditional antibiotics are suffering from the emergence of drug resistance, new antibacterial strategies are of great interest. Responsive materials are appealing alternatives that have shown great potential in combating resistant bacteria and avoiding the side effects of traditional antibiotics. In this review, the responsive antibacterial materials are introduced in terms of stimulus signals including intrinsic (pH, enzyme, ROS, etc.) and extrinsic (light, temperature, magnetic fields, etc.) stimuli. Their biomedical applications in therapeutics and medical devices are then discussed. Finally, the author's perspective of the challenge and the future of such a system is provided.

Abstract
As an emerging antibacterial strategy, photothermal disinfection attracts increasing attention due to its advantages of high efficacy, wide pertinence, and non-drug resistance. However, the unavoidable shielding of observation by photothermal components and the possible damage to normal tissue caused by hyperthermia restrict its applications. Herein, we propose a composite hydrogel with the ability of on-demand generation of photothermal components and mild-temperature photothermal disinfection by elegantly tuning the binding and release of iodine and starch. The composite hydrogel is obtained by blending iodine-adsorbed pH-responsive ZIF-8 nanoparticles (NPs) with a starch-based hydrogel matrix. Through a convenient pH response, the composite hydrogel leverages the triple functions of iodine, which serves as a disinfectant and reacts with starch to generate a photothermal agent and color indicator, allowing photothermal-chemotherapy combined disinfection on demand. In vitro antibacterial experiments show that the composite hydrogel can respond to the acidification of the microenvironment caused by bacterial metabolism and produce corresponding color changes, realizing naked-eye observation. Meanwhile, under the combined treatment of heating/I2/Zn2+, the composite hydrogel can completely kill Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at a mild temperature of ∼41 °C. This study represents a breakthrough in on-demand generation of photothermal hydrogels for mild-temperature photothermal disinfection.

Abstract
Bacterial infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide today. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has urged the development of alternative antibacterial technologies to complement or replace traditional antibiotic treatments. In this regard, metal nanomaterials have attracted great attention for their controllable antibacterial functions that are less prone to resistance. This review discusses a particular family of stimuli-activable metal-bearing nanomaterials (denoted as SAMNs) and the associated on-demand antibacterial strategies. The various SAMN-enabled antibacterial strategies stem from basic light and magnet activation, with the addition of bacterial microenvironment responsiveness and/or bacteria-targeting selectivity and therefore offer higher spatiotemporal controllability. The discussion focuses on nanomaterial design principles, antibacterial mechanisms, and antibacterial performance, as well as emerging applications that desire on-demand and selective activation (i.e., medical antibacterial treatments, surface anti-biofilm, water disinfection, and wearable antibacterial materials). The review concludes with the authors' perspectives on the challenges and future directions for developing industrial translatable next-generation antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
In this study, novel multilayered magnetic nanoparticles (ML-MNPs) loaded with DNase and/or vancomycin (Vanc) were fabricated for eliminating multispecies biofilms. Iron-oxide MNPs (IO-core) (500-800 nm) were synthesized via co-precipitation; further, the IO-core was coated with heavy-metal-based layers (Ag and MoS2 NPs) using solvent evaporation. DNase and Vanc were loaded onto the outermost layer of the ML-MNP formed by nanoporous MoS2 NPs through physical deposition and adsorption. The biofilms of S. mutans or E. faecalis (or both) were formed in a brain-heart-infusion broth (BHI) for 3 days, followed by treatment with ML-MNPs for 24 h. The results revealed that coatings of Ag (200 nm) and ultrasmall MoS2 (20 nm) were assembled as outer layers of ML-MNPs successfully, and they formed Ag-Fe3O4@MoS2 MNPs (3-5 μm). The DNase-Vanc-loaded MNPs caused nanochannels digging and resulted in the enhanced penetration of MNPs towards the bottom layers of biofilm, which resulted in a decrease in the thickness of the 72-h biofilm from 48 to 58 μm to 0-4 μm. The sustained release of Vanc caused a synergistic bacterial killing up to 96%-100%. The heavy-metal-based layers of MNPs act as nanozymes to interfere with bacterial metabolism and proliferation, which adversely affects biofilm integrity. Further, loading DNase/Vanc onto the nanoporous-MoS2-layer of ML-MNPs promoted nanochannel creation through the biofilm. Therefore, DNase-and Vanc-loaded ML-MNPs exhibited potent effects on biofilm disruption and bacterial killing.

Abstract
The rapid emergence and spread of drug-resistant bacteria, as one of the most pressing public health threats, are declining our arsenal of available antimicrobial drugs. Advanced antimicrobial drug delivery systems that can achieve precise and controlled release of antimicrobial agents in the microenvironment of bacterial infections will retard the development of antimicrobial resistance. A variety of extracellular enzymes are secreted by bacteria to destroy physical integrity of tissue during their invasion of host body, which can be utilized as stimuli to trigger "on-demand" release of antimicrobials. In the past decade, such bacterial enzyme responsive drug release systems have been intensively studied but few review has been released. Herein, we systematically summarize the recent progress of smart antimicrobial drug delivery systems triggered by bacteria secreted enzymes such as lipase, hyaluronidase, protease and antibiotic degrading enzymes. The perspectives and existing key issues of this field will also be discussed to fuel the innovative research and translational application in the future.

Abstract
Superhydrophobic and hydrophobic properties are generally created by adopting low surface free energy materials. Therefore, most studies have focused on creating surface hydrophobicity by using hydrophobic or fluorinated materials. However, few studies are reported on realizing surface hydrophobicity by directly introducing hydrophilic molecules, which is also a challenge. Herein, with platinum nanozyme as the catalyst, the novel hydrophobic coatings have been rapidly gained via anchoring the polymer of hydrophilic gallic acid and chitosan or chitosan quaternary ammonium salt onto cotton fabric surface. Notably, the novel hydrophobic coatings exhibit significant advances compared with conventional hydrophobic ones created by utilizing fluorinated or hydrophobic materials, which breaks the limitation of employing low surface energy materials for gaining surface hydrophobicity. Subsequently, the sodium methyl silicate was grafted on the polymer's coatings to strengthen surface hydrophobicity and the abrasion resistance of hydrophobicity. Interestingly, the heating could induce the hydrophilicity of cotton fabric to recover to hydrophobicity. Moreover, the hydrophobic coatings also possess good photothermal conversion, UV resistance, and anti-oxidation activity for self-cleaning application and oil water separation. Briefly, the present work may open a new direction for preparing novel hydrophobic coatings by combining gallic acid and chitosan-based macromolecular carbohydrates.

Bacterial responsive hydrogels based on quaternized chitosan and GQDs-ε-PL for chemo-photothermal synergistic anti-infection in diabetic wounds. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 210:377-393. [PMID: 35526764 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Clinically, systemic antibiotic therapy and traditional dressings care are not satisfactory in treating chronic diabetic ulcers (DU). Therefore, we presented sprayable antibacterial hydrogel for effective treatment of DU by using antibacterial macromolecules (quaternized chitosan, QCS, Mn ≈ 1.5 × 105), photothermal antibacterial nanoparticles (ε-poly-l-lysine grafted graphene quantum dots, GQDs-ε-PL) and miocompatible macromolecules (benzaldehyde-terminated four-arm poly(ethylene glycol), 4 arm PEG-BA) as materials. The results revealed that the hydrogel could be in situ formed in 70-89 s through dynamic imine bonds crosslinking and exhibited a pH-dependent swelling ability and degradability. The hydrogel could respond to bacterial triggered acidic environment to play a synergistic effect of chemotherapy and xenon light irradiated PTT, leading to the rupture of the bacterial membrane and the inactivation of bacteria, promoting the migration and proliferation of fibroblast cell, enhancing the adhesion of platelet endothelial cell, and finally accelerating the healing of infected diabetic wound. Moreover, the hydrogel displayed self-healing, hemostatic, and biocompatible abilities, which could provide a better healing environment for wound and further promote wound healing. Hence, the multifunctional hydrogel is expected to be a potential dressing for the clinical treatment of DU.

Abstract
Bacterial infection with high morbidity (>30%) seriously affects the defect's healing after bone transplantation. To this end, chemotherapy and photothermal therapy have been utilized for antibacterial treatment owing to their high selectivity and minimal toxicity. However, they also face several dilemmas. For example, bacterial biofilms prevented the penetration of antibacterial agents and local temperatures (over 70 °C) caused by the photothermal therapy damaged normal tissue. Herein, a co-dispersion nanosystem with chemo-photothermal function was constructed via the in situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. In this nanosystem, GO generates a local temperature (∼50 °C) to increase the permeability of a bacterial biofilm under near-infrared laser irradiation. Then, Zn ions released by ZIF-8 seized this chance to react with the bacterial membrane and inactivate it, thus realizing efficient sterilization in a low-temperature environment. This antibacterial system was incorporated into a poly-l-lactic acid scaffold for bone repair. Results showed that the scaffold showed a high antibacterial rate of 85% against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro cell tests showed that the scaffold promoted cell proliferation.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has become a topic of significant interest in drug delivery research due to its excellent properties, including biosafety, biodegradability, and nonimmunogenicity. Moreover, due to its ease of modification, HA can be used to prepare several HA‐based nanosystems using various approaches. These approaches involve conjugating/grafting of hydrophobic moieties, polyelectrolytes complexation with cationic polymers, or surface modification of various nanoparticles using HA. These nanoparticles are able to selectively deliver antibacterial drugs or diagnostic molecules into the site of infections. In addition, HA can bind with overexpressed cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) receptors in macrophages and also can be degraded by a family of enzymes called hyaluronidase (HAase) to release drugs or molecules. By binding with these receptors or being degraded at the infection site by HAase, HA‐based nanoparticles allow enhanced and targeted antibacterial delivery. Herein, we present a comprehensive and up‐to‐date review that highlights various techniques of preparation of HA‐based nanoparticles that have been reported in the literature. Furthermore, we also discuss and critically analyze numerous types of HA‐based nanoparticles that have been employed in antibacterial delivery to date. This article offers a critical overview of the potential of HA‐based nanoparticles to overcome the challenges of conventional antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections. Moreover, this review identifies further avenues of research for developing multifunctional and biomimetic HA‐based nanoparticles for the treatment, prevention, and/or detection of pathogenic bacteria.

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid reverses the antibacterial activity of colistin against MCR-1-positive bacteria in vivo/in vitro by inhibiting MCR-1 activity and injuring the bacterial cell membrane. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 98:153946. [PMID: 35158237 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.153946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Revised: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colistin (polymyxin E) is an effective antibiotic for the treatment of most multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. However, some bacteria, including bacterial spp. belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, have an acquired resistance against polymyxins, which is attributed to they possess plasmid-carried resistance genes (mcr-1 and its variants). So, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic strategies to target broad spectrum resistant spp. from Enterobacteriaceae family in response to the loss of the protective barrier of last-line antibiotics. Here, we report the adjuvant capacity of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) for restoring the antibacterial activity of colistin against MCR-1-positive E. coli ZJ487 in vivo/in vitro. METHODS A checkerboard assay, time-killing analysis, isobolograms, growth curves and inducible resistance test showed the effect of NDGA combined with colistin in vitro. TLC was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NDGA on MCR-1. Colony determination and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining were used to assess the synergistic effect of NDGA and colistin in mice. RESULTS Our results showed that NDGA in combination with colistin showed a synergistic bactericidal action without inducing resistance. NDGA directly inhibited MCR-1 activity and resulted in measurable injury to the bacterial cell membrane to recover the antibacterial effect of colistin. Most importantly, NDGA in combination with colistin exhibited an in vivo synergistic effect in murine peritonitis infection models, as evidenced by the survival rate of MCR-1-positive E. coli ZJ487-infected mice which increased from 6.67 to 50.0%. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that NDGA effectively rescues the efficiency of colistin against MCR-positive E. coli ZJ487 by simultaneously inhibiting both, the MCR activity and the injury to the cell membrane of bacteria.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria represent a global threat to human health. However, due to the abuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant bacteria have evolved rapidly and led to the failure of antibiotics treatment. Alternative antimicrobial strategies different to traditional antibiotics are urgently needed. Enzyme-based antibacterials (Enzybiotics) have gradually attracted interest owing to their advantages including high specificity, rapid mode-of-action, no resistance development, etc. However, due to their low stability, potential immunogenicity, and high cost of natural enzymes, enzybiotics have limitations in practical antibacterial therapy. In recent years, many nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities (Nanozymes) have been discovered as a new generation of artificial enzymes and perform catalytic antibacterial effects against bacterial resistance. To highlight the progress in this field of nanozyme-based antibacterials (Nanozybiotics), this review discussed the antibacterial mechanism of action of nanozybiotics with a comparison with enzybiotics. We propose that nanozybiotics may bear promising applications in antibacterial therapy, due to their high stability, rapid bacterial killing, biofilm elimination, and low cost.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, which catalyze the conversion of enzyme substrates and follow enzymatic kinetics under physiological conditions. As a new generation of artificial enzymes, nanozymes provide alternative approaches for those upon enzymatic catalysis. Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have the advantages of simple preparation, good stability and low cost, which makes nanozymes promising for application in many fields, such as antimicrobial infection treatment. Many studies have reported that nanozymes are capable of killing a number of pathogenic bacteria with resistance, fungi as well as viruses, and have shown great curative effects for diseases caused by these pathogens. Herein, we summarize the application of nanozymes for antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal therapies and outline the issues needing resolution in the future.

Engineered Nanotechnology: An Effective Therapeutic Platform for the Chronic Cutaneous Wound. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12050778.

Abstract
The healing of chronic wound infections, especially cutaneous wounds, involves a complex cascade of events demanding mutual interaction between immunity and other natural host processes. Wound infections are caused by the consortia of microbial species that keep on proliferating and produce various types of virulence factors that cause the development of chronic infections. The mono- or polymicrobial nature of surface wound infections is best characterized by its ability to form biofilm that renders antimicrobial resistance to commonly administered drugs due to poor biofilm matrix permeability. With an increasing incidence of chronic wound biofilm infections, there is an urgent need for non-conventional antimicrobial approaches, such as developing nanomaterials that have intrinsic antimicrobial-antibiofilm properties modulating the biochemical or biophysical parameters in the wound microenvironment in order to cause disruption and removal of biofilms, such as designing nanomaterials as efficient drug-delivery vehicles carrying antibiotics, bioactive compounds, growth factor antioxidants or stem cells reaching the infection sites and having a distinct mechanism of action in comparison to antibiotics—functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) for better incursion through the biofilm matrix. NPs are thought to act by modulating the microbial colonization and biofilm formation in wounds due to their differential particle size, shape, surface charge and composition through alterations in bacterial cell membrane composition, as well as their conductivity, loss of respiratory activity, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitrosation of cysteines of proteins, lipid peroxidation, DNA unwinding and modulation of metabolic pathways. For the treatment of chronic wounds, extensive research is ongoing to explore a variety of nanoplatforms, including metallic and nonmetallic NPs, nanofibers and self-accumulating nanocarriers. As the use of the magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-entrenched pre-designed hydrogel sheet (MPS) is found to enhance wound healing, the bio-nanocomposites consisting of bacterial cellulose and magnetic nanoparticles (magnetite) are now successfully used for the healing of chronic wounds. With the objective of precise targeting, some kinds of “intelligent” nanoparticles are constructed to react according to the required environment, which are later incorporated in the dressings, so that the wound can be treated with nano-impregnated dressing material in situ. For the effective healing of skin wounds, high-expressing, transiently modified stem cells, controlled by nano 3D architectures, have been developed to encourage angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. In order to overcome the challenge of time and dose constraints during drug administration, the approach of combinatorial nano therapy is adopted, whereby AI will help to exploit the full potential of nanomedicine to treat chronic wounds.

Abstract
Simple and efficient identification of multiple bacteria and sterilization in real time is of considerable significance for clinical diagnostics and quality control in food. Herein, a novel chemical-tongue sensor array with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a single probe was developed for bacterial identification and photothermal elimination. The synthesized bimetallic palladium/platinum nanoparticles (Pd/PtNPs) present excellent catalytic capability that can catalyze TMB into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) with four feature absorption peaks. Bacteria have different ability on inhibiting the reaction between TMB and Pd/PtNPs. With the absorbance intensity of oxTMB at the four feature peaks as readout, nine kinds of bacteria including two drug-resistant bacteria can be successfully distinguished via linear discriminant analysis. Remarkably, oxTMB exhibits excellent photothermal properties and can effectively kill bacteria in real time under near-infrared laser irradiation. The strategy of selecting TMB as a single probe simplifies the experimental operation and reduces the time cost. Furthermore, the developed sensing system was used to promote the wound healing process of MRSA-infected mice in vivo. The investigation provides a promising simple and efficient strategy for bacterial identification and sterilization with a universal platform, which has great potential application in clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a type of nanomaterial with enzyme-like properties, are a promising alternative to natural enzymes. In particular, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs, with the general formula MX2, where M represents a transition metal and X is a chalcogen element)-based nanozymes have demonstrated exceptional potential in the healthcare and diagnostic sectors. TMDCs have different enzymatic properties due to their unique nano-architecture, high surface area, and semiconducting properties with tunable band gaps. Furthermore, the compatibility of TMDCs with various chemical or physical modification strategies provide a simple and scalable way to engineer and control their enzymatic activity. Here, we discuss recent advances made with TMDC-based nanozymes for biosensing and therapeutic applications. We also discuss their synthesis strategies, various enzymatic properties, current challenges, and the outlook for future developments in this field.

Abstract
This review presents principles and novelties in the field of tissue optical clearing (TOC) technology, as well as application for optical monitoring of drug delivery and effective antimicrobial phototherapy. TOC is based on altering the optical properties of tissue through the introduction of immersion optical cleaning agents (OCA), which impregnate the tissue of interest. We also analyze various methods and kinetics of delivery of photodynamic agents, nanoantibiotics and their mixtures with OCAs into the tissue depth in the context of antimicrobial and antifungal phototherapy. In vitro and in vivo studies of antimicrobial phototherapies, such as photodynamic, photothermal plasmonic and photocatalytic, are summarized, and the prospects of a new TOC technology for effective killing of pathogens are discussed.

Abstract
Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based nanomaterials have been extensively explored for the photonic therapy. To the best of our knowledge, near-infrared (NIR) light is a requirement for the photothermal therapy (PTT) to achieve the feature of deep-tissue penetration, whereas no obvious absorption peaks existing in the NIR region for existing TMD nanomaterials limit their therapeutic efficacy. As one category of TMD nanomaterials, ruthenium sulfide-based nanomaterials have been less exploited in biomedical applications including tumor therapy so far. Here, we develop a facile biomineralization-assisted bottom-up strategy to synthesize oxygenic hybrid ruthenium sulfide nanoclusters (RuSx NCs) by regulating the oxygen amounts and sulfur defects for the optimized PTT. By regulating the increasing initial molar ratios of Ru to S, RuSx NCs with small sizes were endowed with increasing oxygen contents and sulfur defects, leading to the photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) increasing from 32.8 to 41.9%, which were higher than that of most small-sized inorganic photothermal nanoagents. In contrast to commercial indocyanine green, these RuSx NCs exhibited higher photostability under NIR laser irradiation. The high PCE and superior photostability allowed RuSx NCs to effectively and completely ablate cancer cells. Thus, the proposed defect engineering strategy endows RuSx NCs with an excellent photothermal effect for the PTT of tumors of living mice, which also proves the potential of further exploring the properties of RuSx NCs for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been continuously explored in the antibacterial aspect and has achieved more effective antibacterial effect than a single therapy. We design a pH-responsive O2 and H2O2 self-supplying zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanosystem for PDT/CDT of wound infection. Under the acidic inflammatory conditions, ZIF-67 can degrade to produce Co2+ and release CaO2 and graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The exposed CaO2 reacted with water to generate H2O2 and O2. The self-supplied O2 alleviates hypoxia at the site of inflammation and enhances external light-initiated GQD-mediated PDT, while H2O2 was catalyzed by endogenous Co2+ to produce hydroxyl radicals for Co2+-triggered CDT. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 has a combined PDT/CDT effect. The antibacterial mechanism indicates that bacteria post-treated with CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 may be sterilized by reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidative stress and the leakage of bacterial contents. The experiments also find that CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 may activate the immune response and enhance the therapeutic effect by activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathway.

Abstract
With rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant microbes, it is imperative to seek alternative means for infection control. Optical waveguides are an auspicious delivery method for precise administration of phototherapy. Studies have shown that phototherapy is promising in fighting against a myriad of infectious pathogens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa) including biofilm-forming species and drug-resistant strains while evading treatment resistance. When administered via optical waveguides, phototherapy can treat both superficial and deep-tissue infections while minimizing off-site effects that afflict conventional phototherapy and pharmacotherapy. Despite great therapeutic potential, exact mechanisms, materials, and fabrication designs to optimize this promising treatment option are underexplored. This review outlines principles and applications of phototherapy and optical waveguides for infection control. Research advances, challenges, and outlook regarding this delivery system are rigorously discussed in a hope to inspire future developments of optical waveguide-mediated phototherapy for the management of infection and beyond.

Responsive nanoplatform for persistent luminescence "turn-on" imaging and "on-demand" synergistic therapy of bacterial infection. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 610:687-697.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanotheranostic platforms are emerging for the treatment of bacterial infections. Uncontrollable drug release and poor response in target location leads to inefficient therapy and failure to offer timely antibacterial monitoring. Here, we report a multifunctional nanoplatform that can be triggered by the bacterial microenvironment for effective bacterial killing and high-sensitive persistent luminescence (PL) "turn-on" imaging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is grafted on the surface of mesoporous silica-coated persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs@MSN) loaded with cinnamaldehyde (CA). Further in situ growth of MnO2 shells gives PLNPs@MSN@CA-HA-MnO2 (PMC-HA-MnO2). MnO2 shell of PMC-HA-MnO2 can be reduced to Mn2+ by the H2O2 in the bacterial microenvironment to trigger persistent luminescence (PL) "turn-on" imaging along with chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Meanwhile, HA can response to bacterially secreted hyaluronidase to make the packaged CA release controllable and "on-demand". Consequently, PMC-HA-MnO2 enables effective response to bacterial-infected region, ensuring high-sensitive "turn-on" imaging, synergistic CDT, accurate targeting and "on-demand" CA release to give great antibacterial effect. This nanoplatform has great potential for the diagnosis and treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infection with high specificity and efficiency.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges in public health. There is an urgent need to discover novel agents against the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci. The drug-resistant pathogens are able to grow and persist in infected sites, including biofilms, phagosomes, or phagolysosomes, which are more difficult to eradicate than planktonic ones and also foster the development of drug resistance. For years, various nano-antibacterial agents have been developed in the forms of antibiotic nanocarriers. Inorganic nanoparticles with intrinsic antibacterial activity and inert nanoparticles assisted by external stimuli, including heat, photon, magnetism, or sound, have also been discovered. Many of these strategies are designed to target the unique microenvironment of bacterial infections, which have shown potent antibacterial effects in vitro and in vivo. This review summarizes ongoing efforts on antibacterial nanotherapeutic strategies related to bacterial infection microenvironments, including targeted antibacterial therapy and responsive antibiotic delivery systems. Several grand challenges and future directions for the development and translation of effective nano-antibacterial agents are also discussed. The development of innovative nano-antibacterial agents could provide powerful weapons against drug-resistant bacteria in systemic or local bacterial infections in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Molybdenum is a trace dietary element necessary for the survival of humans. Some molybdenum-bearing enzymes are involved in key metabolic activities in the human body (such as xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase). Many molybdenum-based compounds have been widely used in biomedical research. Especially, MoS2-nanomaterials have attracted more attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment recently because of their unique physical and chemical properties. MoS2 can adsorb various biomolecules and drug molecules via covalent or non-covalent interactions because it is easy to modify and possess a high specific surface area, improving its tumor targeting and colloidal stability, as well as accuracy and sensitivity for detecting specific biomarkers. At the same time, in the near-infrared (NIR) window, MoS2 has excellent optical absorption and prominent photothermal conversion efficiency, which can achieve NIR-based phototherapy and NIR-responsive controlled drug-release. Significantly, the modified MoS2-nanocomposite can specifically respond to the tumor microenvironment, leading to drug accumulation in the tumor site increased, reducing its side effects on non-cancerous tissues, and improved therapeutic effect. In this review, we introduced the latest developments of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer diagnosis and therapy, mainly focusing on biosensors, bioimaging, chemotherapy, phototherapy, microwave hyperthermia, and combination therapy. Furthermore, we also discuss the current challenges and prospects of MoS2-nanocomposites in cancer treatment.

Abstract
The ever-growing threat of drug-resistant pathogens and their biofilms based persistent, chronic infections has created an urgent call for new strategies to deal with multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR). Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced photothermal treatment (PTT) of gold nanorods (AuNRs) disinfects microbes by local heating with low possibility to develop resistant. However, PTT disinfection strategy of AuNRs alone shows less efficiency in killing multidrug resistant strains (i.e. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA) and their matured biofilms. Herein, a novel synergistic chemo-photothermal integrated antimicrobial platform (P(Cip-b-CB)-AuNRs) was fabricated which show enhanced killing efficiency against MRSA in both planktonic and biofilm phenotypes. Polymethacrylate copolymers with pendant ciprofloxacin (Cip) and the carboxyl betaine groups (P(Cip-b-CB)) were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. P(Cip-b-CB) was decorated onto AuNRs via gold-thiol bond which resulted in AuNRs with acidic-induced surface charge-switchable activities and lipase triggered Cip release properties (P(Cip-b-CB)-AuNRs). The lower pH value and overexpress of lipase are characteristics for microenvironment of microbial infections and their biofilms, which ensure the targeting on, penetration into and on-demand release of Cip from the nanocomposites in bacterial infection sites and their biofilms. The bacterial cell membrane was disrupt by photothermal therapy which could improve its permeability and sensitivity to antibiotics, meanwhile lipase-triggered release of Cip ensures a high concentration of antibiotics at the site of bacterial infection. Besides their NIR induced PTT disinfection activities, the increased local temperature generated by NIR light irradiation accelerated Cip release which further enhanced the antibacterial efficiency, leading to synergistic antibacterial activities of chemo-photothermal therapy. Taken together, the designed synergistic chemo-photothermal integrated antimicrobial platform is a promising antibacterial agent for fighting MDR bacterial infections and their biofilms.

Abstract
Nanozyme has been regarded as one of the antibacterial agents to kill bacteria via a Fenton-like reaction in the presence of H2O2. However, it still suffers drawbacks such as insufficient catalytic activity in near-neutral conditions and the requirement of high H2O2 levels, which would minimize the side effects to healthy tissues. Herein, a mesoporous ceria hollow sphere/enzyme nanoreactor is constructed by loading glucose oxidase in the mesoporous ceria hollow sphere nanozyme. Due to the mesoporous framework, large internal voids, and high specific surface area, the obtained nanoreactor can effectively convert the nontoxic glucose into highly toxic hydroxyl radicals via a cascade catalytic reaction. Moreover, the generated glucose acid can decrease the localized pH value, further boosting the peroxidase-like catalytic performance of mesoporous ceria. The generated hydroxyl radicals could damage severely the cell structure of the bacteria and prevent biofilm formation. Moreover, the in vivo experiments demonstrate that the nanoreactor can efficiently eliminate 99.9% of bacteria in the wound tissues and prevent persistent inflammation without damage to normal tissues in mice. This work provides a rational design of a nanoreactor with enhanced catalytic activity, which can covert glucose to hydroxyl radicals and exhibits potential applications in antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
Biofunctional materials with nanomechanical parameters similar to bone tissue may promote the adherence, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of pre-osteoblasts. In this study, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) nanoporous scaffold (DNA-NPS) was synthesized by the polymerization of rectangular and double-crossover (DX) DNA tiles. The diagonally precise polymerization of nanometer-sized DNA tiles (A + B) through sticky end cohesion gave rise to a micrometer-sized porous giant-sheet material. The synthesized DNA-NPS exhibited a uniformly distributed porosity with a size of 25 ± 20 nm. The morphology, dimensions, sectional profiles, 2-dimensional (2D) layer height, texture, topology, pore size, and mechanical parameters of DNA-NPS have been characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The size and zeta potential of DNA-NPS have been characterized by the zeta sizer. Cell biocompatibility, proliferation, and apoptosis have been evaluated by flow cytometry. The AFM results confirmed that the fabricated DNA-NPS was interconnected and uniformly porous, with a surface roughness of 0.125 ± 0.08035 nm. The elastic modulus of the DNA-NPS was 22.45 ± 8.65 GPa, which was comparable to that of native bone tissue. DNA-NPS facilitated pre-osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. These findings indicated the potential of 2D DNA-NPS in promoting bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Bacterial biofilm infections have been threatening the human's life and health globally for a long time because they typically cause chronic and persistent infections. Traditional antibiotic therapies can hardly eradicate biofilms in many cases, as biofilms always form a robust fortress for pathogens inside, inhibiting the penetration of drugs. To address the issues, many novel drug carriers emerged as promising strategies for biofilm treatment. Among them, stimuli-responsive nanocarriers have attracted much attentions for their intriguing physicochemical properties, such as tunable size, shape and surface chemistry, especially smart drug release characteristic. Based on the microenvironmental difference between biofilm infection sites and normal tissue, many stimuli, such as bacterial products accumulating in biofilms (enzymes, glutathione, etc.), lower pH and higher H2O2 levels, have been employed and proved in favor of "on-demand" drug release for biofilm elimination. Additionally, external stimuli including light, heat, microwave and magnetic fields are also able to control the drug releasing behavior artificially. In this review, we summarized recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for combating biofilm infections, and mainly, focusing on the different stimuli that trigger the drug release. 摘要 , , 。 , , 。 , , 。 , -, , , , 。 , , (, ), pHH2O2, ""。 , , , , 。 , , 。.

Abstract
Conventional wound dressing materials containing free antibiotics for bacterial wound infections are presented with several limitations, that is, lack of controlled and triggered release capabilities, and may often not be adequate to address the complex bacteria microenvironment of such infections. Additionally, the improper usage of antibiotics may also result in the emergence of drug resistant strains. While delivery systems (i.e., nanoparticles) that encapsulate antibiotics may potentially overcome some of these limitations, their therapeutic outcomes are still less than desirable. For example, premature drug release or unintended drug activation may occur, which would greatly reduce treatment efficacy. To address this, responsive nanoparticle-based antimicrobial therapies could be a promising strategy. Such nanoparticles can be functionalized to react to a single stimulus or multi stimulus within the bacteria microenvironment and subsequently elicit a therapeutic response. Such "intelligent" nanoparticles can be designed to respond to the microenvironment, that is, an acidic pH, the presence of specific enzymes, bacterial toxins, etc. or to an external stimulus, for example, light, thermal, etc. These responsive nanoparticles can be further incorporated into wound dressings to better promote wound healing. This review summarizes and highlights the recent progress on such intelligent nanoparticle-based dressings as potential wound dressings for bacteria-infected wounds, along with the current challenges and prospects for these technologies to be successfully translated into the clinic.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has been recognized as one of the greatest threats to public health. In view of the continuous increase of bacterial resistance, constructing a collaborative bactericidal platform is a promising strategy to enhance the efficiency of antimicrobial agents. Herein, we report a facile, biocompatible and versatile nano-platform based on positively charged copper manganate nanoflakes (CuMnO2 NFs), which exhibits intrinsic peroxidase-like catalytic activity and excellent photothermal properties. The CuMnO2 NFs can bind with negatively charged bacteria via electrostatic interactions, and generate hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) through catalysis involving hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to make bacteria more susceptible to temperature. Introducing near-infrared light generates hyperthermia to fight against bacteria and enhances the peroxidase-like catalytic activity of the CuMnO2 NFs, thus producing more ˙OH to combat bacteria. The PTT-enhanced ˙OH synergistic antibacterial strategy exerts desirable antibacterial efficiencies of 98.78% and 99.92% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) at a controlled low temperature (below 50 °C), without damage to healthy tissues. Animal experiments indicate that this synergistic treatment has a better therapeutic effect on S. aureus-infected wounds in mice, compared with either treatment by itself. Therefore, this work holds great promise for developing new synergistic antimicrobial strategies to treat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the world's most urgent public health problems. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is a promising therapy to combat the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. The aPDT combines a photosensitizer and light to generate reactive oxygen species to induce bacterial inactivation. Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes are significant because they possess unique photophysical properties that allow them to produce reactive oxygen species upon photoirradiation, which leads to cytotoxicity. These antimicrobial agents cause bacterial cell death by DNA and cytoplasmic membrane damage. This article presents a comprehensive review of photoactive antimicrobial properties of kinetically inert and labile ruthenium complexes, nanoparticles coupled photoactive ruthenium complexes, and photoactive ruthenium nanoparticles. Additionally, limitations of current ruthenium-based photoactive antimicrobial agents and future directions for the development of antibiotic-resistant photoactive antimicrobial agents are discussed. It is important to raise awareness for the ruthenium-based aPDT agents in order to develop a new class of photoactive metalloantibiotics capable of combating antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are a major threat to human health, exacerbated by increasing antibiotic resistance. These infections can result in tremendous morbidity and mortality, emphasizing the need to identify and treat pathogenic bacteria quickly and effectively. Recent developments in detection methods have focused on electrochemical, optical, and mass-based biosensors. Advances in these systems include implementing multifunctional materials, microfluidic sampling, and portable data-processing to improve sensitivity, specificity, and ease of operation. Concurrently, advances in antibacterial treatment have largely focused on targeted and responsive delivery for both antibiotics and antibiotic alternatives. Antibiotic alternatives described here include repurposed drugs, antimicrobial peptides and polymers, nucleic acids, small molecules, living systems, and bacteriophages. Finally, closed-loop therapies are combining advances in the fields of both detection and treatment. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current trends in detection and treatment systems for bacterial infections.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggested that bacterial infection diseases posed a great threat to human health and became the leading cause of mortality. However, the abuse of antibiotics and their residues in the environment result in the emergence and prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria. Photothermal therapy (PTT) has received considerable attention owing to its noninvasiveness, and proved to be promising in preventing bacterial infection diseases. In this review, we first surveyed the recent progress of PTT-based responsive targeting strategies for bacterial killing. We then highlighted the PTT-based smart designs of bio-films, hydrogels and synergistic methods for treating bacterial infections. Existing challenges and perspectives are also discussed to inspire the future development of a PTT-based platform for the efficient therapy of bacterial infections.
