[PMID: 38976935 PMCID: PMC11298303 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
The escalating rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) coupled with a declining arsenal of new antibiotics is imposing serious threats to global public health. A pervasive aspect of many acquired AMR infections is that the pathogenic microorganisms exist as biofilms, which are equipped with superior survival strategies. In addition, persistent and recalcitrant infections are seeded with bacterial persister cells at infection sites. Together, conventional antibiotic therapeutics often fail in the complete treatment of infections associated with bacterial persisters and biofilms. Novel therapeutics have been attempted to tackle AMR, biofilms, and persister-associated complex infections. This review focuses on the progress in designing molecular biomaterials and therapeutics to address acquired and intrinsic AMR, and the fundamental microbiology behind biofilms and persisters. Starting with a brief introduction of AMR basics and approaches to tackling acquired AMR, the emphasis is placed on various biomaterial approaches to combating intrinsic AMR, including (1) semi-synthetic antibiotics; (2) macromolecular or polymeric biomaterials mimicking antimicrobial peptides; (3) adjuvant effects in synergy; (4) nano-therapeutics; (5) nitric oxide-releasing antimicrobials; (6) antimicrobial hydrogels; (7) antimicrobial coatings. Particularly, the structure-activity relationship is elucidated in each category of these biomaterials. Finally, illuminating perspectives are provided for the future design of molecular biomaterials to bypass AMR and cure chronic multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections.

Abstract
The pressing need for highly efficient antibacterial strategies arises from the prevalence of microbial biofilm infections and the emergence of rapidly evolving antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria. Photodynamic therapy represents a highly efficient and compelling antibacterial approach, offering promising prospects for effective control of the development of bacterial resistance. However, the effectiveness of many photosensitizers is limited due to the reduced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hypoxic microenvironment, which commonly occur in pathological conditions such as inflammatory and bacteria-infected wounds. Herein, we designed and prepared two phenothiazine-derived photosensitizers (NB-1 and NB-2), which can effectively generate superoxide anion radicals (O2●-) through the type I process. Both photosensitizers demonstrate significant efficacy in vitro for the eradication of broad-spectrum bacteria. Moreover, NB-2 possesses distinct advantages including strong membrane binding and strong generation of O2●-, rendering it an exceptionally efficient antibacterial agent against mature biofilms. In addition, laser activated NB-2 could be applied to treat MRSA-infected wound in vivo, which offers new opportunities for potential practical applications.

Abstract
The biofilm-induced "relatively immune-compromised zone" creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment that is a significant contributor to refractory infections in orthopedic endophytes. Consequently, the manipulation of immune cells to co-inhibit or co-activate signaling represents a crucial strategy for the management of biofilm. This study reports the incorporation of Mn2+ into mesoporous dopamine nanoparticles (Mnp) containing the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway activator cGAMP (Mncp), and outer wrapping by M1-like macrophage cell membrane (m-Mncp). The cell membrane enhances the material's targeting ability for biofilm, allowing it to accumulate locally at the infectious focus. Furthermore, m-Mncp mechanically disrupts the biofilm through photothermal therapy and induces antigen exposure through photodynamic therapy-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, the modulation of immunosuppression and immune activation results in the augmentation of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and the commencement of antigen presentation, thereby inducing biofilm-specific humoral immunity and memory responses. Additionally, this approach effectively suppresses the activation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) while simultaneously boosting the activity of T cells. Our study showcases the efficacy of utilizing m-Mncp immunotherapy in conjunction with photothermal and photodynamic therapy to effectively mitigate residual and recurrent infections following the extraction of infected implants. As such, this research presents a viable alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments for biofilm that are challenging to manage.

Abstract
It is of great significance to develop a novel approach to treat bacterial infections, as the frequent misuse of antibiotics leads to the serious problem of bacterial resistance. This study proposed antibiotic-free antibacterial nanoparticles for eliminating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) based on a multi-model synergistic antibacterial ability of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photothermal effect, and innate immunomodulation. Specifically, a polydopamine (PDA) layer coated and Ag nanoparticles loaded core-shell structure Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA-Ag) is prepared. The Fe3O4 catalyzes H2O2 present in acidic microenvironment of bacterial infection into more toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and synergizes with the released Ag ions to exert a stronger bactericidal capacity, which can be augmented by photothermal action of PDA triggered by near-infrared light and loosen the biofilm by photothermal action to promote the penetration of ROS and Ag ion into the biofilm, result in disrupting biofilm structure along with killing encapsulated bacteria. Furthermore, Fe3O4@PDA-Ag exerts indirect antibacterial effects by promoting M1 macrophage polarizing. Animal models demonstrated that Fe3O4@PDA-Ag effectively controlled MRSA-induced infections through photothermal enhanced CDT, Ag+ releasing, and macrophage-mediated bactericidal properties. The acid-triggered antibacterial nanoparticles are expected to combat drug-resistant bacteria infection.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and immune imbalance are the primary culprits behind chronic wounds in individuals with diabetes, impeding the progression of damaged tissues towards normal healing. To achieve a harmonious balance between pro- and anti-inflammation within these infected areas, herein, we propose a one-two punch strategy for on-demand therapy of diabetes-infected wounds, utilizing an azithromycin (AZM)-hybrid nanocomposite termed GOx@FexSy/AZM. During the infective stage, the nanocomposite facilitates the production of ROS, coupled with the burst release of AZM and H2S gas, effectively dismantling biofilms and achieving rapid sterilization. Subsequently, the hyperinflammatory response induced by antibiosis is significantly mitigated through the synergistic action of tissue H2S and the prolonged half-life of AZM. These components inhibit the activity of pro-inflammatory transcription factors (AP-1 and NF-κB) within macrophages, thereby promoting the polarization of macrophages towards a reparative M2 phenotype and facilitating tissue remodeling. By catering to the diverse requirements of wound healing at different stages, this nanocomposite accelerates a sensible transition from inflammation to the reparative phase. In summary, this one-two punch strategy gives an instructive instance for procedural treatment of diabetes wound infection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The treatment of diabetic wound infection presents two major challenges: the diminished antibacterial efficacy arising from biofilm formation and bacterial resistance, as well as the inadequate transition of the wound microenvironment from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory states after bacterial clearance. In this work, a biomineralized iron sulfide nanocomposite was prepared to mediate cascade catalytic (ROS storm) / antibiotic (AZM) / gas (H2S) triple-synergetic antibacterial therapy during the initial stage of bacterial infection, achieving the goal of rapid bactericidal effect; Subsequently, the residual H2S and long half-life AZM would inhibit the key pro-inflammatory transcription factors and promote the macrophages polarization to reparative M2, which effectively mediated tissue repair after hyperinflammatory reactions, leading to orderly treatment of hyperglycemic infected wounds.

Abstract
In current clinical practice, the presence of biofilms poses a significant challenge in the effective elimination of bacterial infections because of the physical and chemical barriers formed by biofilms, which offer persistent protection to bacteria. Here, we developed hollow mesoporous polydopamine (hMP) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with luteolin (Lu) as a quorum sensing inhibitor, which were further coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) shells to create hMP-Lu@HA NPs. We observed that upon reaching the infection site, the HA shells underwent initial degradation by the hyaluronidase enzyme present in the bacterial infection's microenvironment to expose the hMP-Lu NPs. Subsequently, Lu was released in response to the acidic conditions characteristic of bacterial infections, which effectively hindered and dispersed the biofilm. Moreover, when subjected to near-infrared irradiation, the robust photothermal conversion effect of hMP NPs accelerated the release of Lu and disrupted the integrity of the biofilms by localized heating. This dual action enhanced the eradication of the biofilm infection. Importantly, hMP-Lu@HA NPs also promoted tissue regeneration and healing at the implantation site, concurrently addressing biofilm infection. Taken together, this nanosystem, combined with mild-temperature photothermal therapy and quorum sensing inhibition strategy, holds significant potential for applications in the treatment of implantation-associated infections.

Abstract
Implant-associated osteomyelitis (IAOM) is characterized by bone infection and destruction; current therapy of antibiotic treatment and surgical debridement often results in drug resistance and bone defect. It is challenging to develop an antibiotic-free bactericidal and osteogenic-enhanced strategy for IAOM. Herein, an IAOM-tailored antibacterial and osteoinductive composite of copper (Cu)-strontium (Sr) peroxide nanoparticles (CSp NPs), encapsulated in polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) (CSp@PEGDA), is designed. The dual functional CSp NPs display hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) self-supplying and Fenton catalytic Cu2+ ions' release, generating plenty of hydroxyl radical (•OH) in a pH-responsive manner for bacterial killing, while the released Sr2+ promotes the in vitro osteogenicity regarding cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular matrix calcification, and osteo-associated genes expression. The integration of Cu2+ and Sr2+ in CSp NPs together with the coated PEGDA hydrogel ensures the stable and sustainable ion release during short- and long-term periods. Benefitted from the injectablity and photo-crosslink ability, CSp@PEGDA is able to thoroughly fill the infectious site and gelate in situ for bacterial elimination and bone regeneration, which is verified through in vivo evaluation using a clinical-simulating IAOM mouse model. These favorable abilities of CSp@PEGDA precisely meet the multiple therapeutic needs and pave a promising way for implant-associated osteomyelitis treatment.

Abstract
Intracellular bacteria are considered to play a key role in the failure of bacterial infection therapy and increase of antibiotic resistance. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery carriers have been receiving increasing attention for improving the intracellular antibacterial activity of antibiotics, but are accompanied by disadvantages such as complex preparation procedures, lack of active targeting, and monotherapy, necessitating further design improvements. Herein, nanoparticles targeting bacteria-infected macrophages are fabricated to eliminate intracellular bacterial infections via antibiotic release and upregulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and proinflammatory responses. These nanoparticles were formed through the reaction of the amino group on selenocystamine dihydrochloride and the aldehyde group on oxidized dextran (ox-Dex), which encapsulates vancomycin (Van) through hydrophobic interactions. These nanoparticles could undergo targeted uptake by macrophages via endocytosis and respond to the bacteria-infected intracellular microenvironment (ROS and glutathione (GSH)) for controlled release of antibiotics. Furthermore, these nanoparticles could consume intracellular GSH and promote a significant increase in the level of ROS in macrophages, subsequently up-regulating the proinflammatory response to reinforce antibacterial activity. These nanoparticles can accelerate bacteria-infected wound healing. In this work, nanoparticles were fabricated for bacteria-infected macrophage-targeted and microenvironment-responsive antibiotic delivery, cellular ROS generation, and proinflammatory up-regulation activity to eliminate intracellular bacteria, which opens up a new possibility for multifunctional drug delivery against intracellular infection.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections present a significant challenge to wound healing. Non-antibiotic approaches such as photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are promising but have suboptimal anti-bacterial efficacy. Herein, we developed a green bismuth-based double-network hydrogel (Bi@P-Cu) as a PTT/CDT synergistic platform for accelerated drug-resistant bacteria-infected wound healing. Bismuth (Bi) nanoparticles fabricated using a microwave method were used as a highly efficient and biocompatible PTT agent while the integration of a small amount of CDT agent Cu2+ endowed the hydrogel with excellent mechanical and self-healing properties, markedly increased photothermal efficiency, promoted cell migration ability, and negligible toxicity. Importantly, PTT enhanced the production of hydroxyl radicals in CDT and the destruction of bacterial cell membranes, which in turn enhanced the thermal sensitivity of bacteria. This synergistic anti-bacterial effect, together with the demonstrated capability to promote angiogenesis and anti-inflammation as well as enhanced fibroblast proliferation, led to accelerated wound healing in a full-thickness mouse model of resistant bacterial infection. This study provides an effective and safe strategy to eliminate drug-resistant bacteria and accelerate wound healing through green, non-antibiotic, double-network hydrogel-mediated synergistic PTT and CDT.

H 2S-driven chemotherapy and mild photothermal therapy induced mitochondrial reprogramming to promote cuproptosis. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:205. [PMID: 38658965 PMCID: PMC11044430 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02480-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The elevated level of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in colon cancer hinders complete cure with a single therapy. However, excessive H2S also offers a treatment target. A multifunctional cascade bioreactor based on the H2S-responsive mesoporous Cu2Cl(OH)3-loaded hypoxic prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ), in which the outer layer was coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to form TPZ@Cu2Cl(OH)3-HA (TCuH) nanoparticles (NPs), demonstrated a synergistic antitumor effect through combining the H2S-driven cuproptosis and mild photothermal therapy. The HA coating endowed the NPs with targeting delivery to enhance drug accumulation in the tumor tissue. The presence of both the high level of H2S and the near-infrared II (NIR II) irradiation achieved the in situ generation of photothermic agent copper sulfide (Cu9S8) from the TCuH, followed with the release of TPZ. The depletion of H2S stimulated consumption of oxygen, resulting in hypoxic state and mitochondrial reprogramming. The hypoxic state activated prodrug TPZ to activated TPZ (TPZ-ed) for chemotherapy in turn. Furthermore, the exacerbated hypoxia inhibited the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate, decreasing expression of heat shock proteins and subsequently improving the photothermal therapy. The enriched Cu2+ induced not only cuproptosis by promoting lipoacylated dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (DLAT) heteromerization but also performed chemodynamic therapy though catalyzing H2O2 to produce highly toxic hydroxyl radicals ·OH. Therefore, the nanoparticles TCuH offer a versatile platform to exert copper-related synergistic antitumor therapy.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to people's lives and health as bacterial infections continue to persist. Currently, antibiotic therapy remains the primary approach for tackling bacterial infections. However, the escalating rates of drug resistance coupled with the lag in the development of novel drugs have led to diminishing effectiveness of conventional treatments. Therefore, the development of nonantibiotic-dependent therapeutic strategies has become imperative to impede the rise of bacterial resistance. The emergence of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has opened up a new possibility due to the CDT can convert H2O2 into •OH via Fenton/Fenton-like reaction for drug-resistant bacterial treatment. However, the efficacy of CDT is limited by a variety of practical factors. To overcome this limitation, the sterilization efficiency of CDT can be enhanced by introducing the therapeutics with inherent antimicrobial capability. In addition, researchers have explored CDT-based combined therapies to augment its antimicrobial effects and mitigate its potential toxic side effects toward normal tissues. This review examines the research progress of CDT in the antimicrobial field, explores various strategies to enhance CDT efficacy and presents the synergistic effects of CDT in combination with other modalities. And last, the current challenges faced by CDT and the future research directions are discussed.

Abstract
Host immune systems serving as crucial defense lines are vital resisting mechanisms against biofilm-associated implant infections. Nevertheless, biofilms hinder the penetration of anti-bacterial species, inhibit phagocytosis of immune cells, and frustrate host inflammatory responses, ultimately resulting in the weakness of the host immune system for biofilm elimination. Herein, a cell-like construct is developed through encapsulation of erythrocyte membrane fragments on the surface of Fe3 O4 nanoparticle-fabricated microbubbles and then loaded with hydroxyurea (EMB-Hu). Under ultrasound (US) stimulation, EMB-Hu undergoes a stable oscillation manner to act in an "exocytosis" mechanism for disrupting biofilm, releasing agents, and enhancing penetration of catalytically generated anti-bacterial species within biofilms. Additionally, the US-stimulated "exocytosis" by EMB-Hu can activate pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization and enhance macrophage phagocytosis for clearance of disrupted biofilms. Collectively, this work has exhibited cell-like microbubbles with US-stimulated "exocytosis" mechanisms to overcome the biofilm barrier and signal macrophages for inflammatory activation, finally achieving favorable therapeutic effects against implant infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacterial invasions have imposed a significant global health and economic burden. More worryingly, multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria born under the abuse of antibiotics have further escalated the status quo. Nowadays, at the crossroads of multiple disciplines such as chemistry, nanoscience and biomedicine, nanozymes, as enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials, not only possess excellent bactericidal ability but also reduce the possibility of inducing resistance. Thus, nanozymes are promising to serve as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. Nanozymes that mimic peroxidase (POD) activity are also known as POD nanozymes. In recent years, POD nanozymes have become one of the most frequently reported and effective nanozymes due to their broad-spectrum bactericidal properties and unique sterilization mechanism. In this review, we introduce the mechanism as well as the classification of POD nanozymes. More importantly, to further improve the antibacterial efficacy of POD nanozymes, we elaborate on three aspects: (1) improving the physicochemical properties; (2) regulating the catalytic microenvironment; and (3) designing multimodel POD nanozymes. In addition, we review the nanosafety of POD nanozymes for discussing their potential toxicity. Finally, the remaining challenges of POD nanozymes and possible future directions are discussed. This work provides a systematic summary of POD nanozymes and hopefully contributes to the early clinical translation.

Abstract
Reinforced biofilm structures and dysfunctional neutrophils induced by excessive oxidative stress contribute to the refractoriness of diabetes-related biofilm infections (DRBIs). Herein, in contrast to traditional antibacterial therapies, an immune switchpoint-driven neutrophil immune function conversion strategy based on a deoxyribonuclease I loaded vanadium carbide MXene (DNase-I@V2 C) nanoregulator is proposed to treat DRBIs via biofilm lysis and redirecting neutrophil functions from NETosis to phagocytosis in diabetes. Owing to its intrinsic superoxide dismutase/catalase-like activities, DNase-I@V2 C effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a high oxidative stress microenvironment to maintain the biological activity of DNase-I. By increasing the depth of biofilm penetration of DNase-I, DNase-I@V2 C thoroughly degrades extracellular DNA and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in extracellular polymeric substances, thus breaking the physical barrier of biofilms. More importantly, as an immune switchpoint regulator, DNase-I@V2 C can skew neutrophil functions from NETosis toward phagocytosis by intercepting ROS-NE/MPO-PAD4 and activating ROS-PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways in diabetic microenvironment, thereby eliminating biofilm infections. Biofilm lysis and synergistic neutrophil function conversion exert favorable therapeutic effects on biofilm infections in vitro and in vivo. This study serves as a proof-of-principle demonstration of effectively achieving DRBIs with high therapeutic efficacy by regulating immune switchpoint to reverse neutrophil functions.

Abstract
Developing biomaterials with antimicrobial and wound-healing activities for the treatment of wound infections remains challenging. Macrophages play non-negligible roles in healing infection-related wounds. In this study, a new sequential immunomodulatory approach is proposed to promote effective and rapid wound healing using a novel hybrid hydrogel dressing based on the immune characteristics of bacteria-associated wounds. The hydrogel dressing substrate is derived from a porcine dermal extracellular matrix (PADM) and loaded with a new class of bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGns) doped with copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) ions (Cu-Zn BGns). This hybrid hydrogel demonstrates a controlled release of Cu2+ and Zn2+ and sequentially regulates the phenotypic transition of macrophages from M1 to M2 by alternately activating nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) and inhibiting mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways. Additionally, its dual-temporal bidirectional immunomodulatory function facilitates enhanced antibacterial activity and wound healing. Hence, this novel hydrogel is capable of safely and efficiently accelerating wound healing during infections. As such, the design strategy provides a new direction for exploring novel immunomodulatory biomaterials to address current clinical challenges related to the treatment of wound infections.

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.

Abstract
In recent studies, iron-containing Fenton nanocatalysts have demonstrated significant promise for clinical use due to their effective antitumor activity and low cytotoxicity. A new approach was reported in this work utilizing cation exchange synthesis to fabricate FeMnOx nanoparticles (NPs) that boost Fenton reactions and responses to the tumor microenvironment (TME) for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and chemotherapy (CT). Within the TME, the redox metal pair of Fe2+/Mn2+ helps break down endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into very harmful hydroxyl radicals (•OH) while simultaneously deactivating glutathione (GSH) to boost CDT performance. To further enhance the therapeutic potential, FeMnOx NPs were encapsulated with thioketal-linked camptothecin (CPT-TK-COOH), a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive prodrug, achieving a high CPT-loading capacity of up to 51.1%. Upon ROS generation through the Fenton reaction, the prodrug TK linkage was disrupted, releasing 80% of the CPT payload within 48 h. Notably, FeMnOx@CPT exhibited excellent dual-modal imaging capabilities, enabling magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging for image-guided therapy. In vitro studies showed the cytocompatibility of FeMnOx NPs using MDA-Mb-231 and 4T1 cells, but in the presence of H2O2, they induced significant cytotoxicity, resulting in 80% cell death through CDT and CT effects. Upon intravenous administration, FeMnOx@CPT displayed remarkable tumor accumulation, which enhanced tumor suppression in xenografts through improved CDT and CT effects. Moreover, no significant adverse effects were observed in the FeMnOx NP-treated animals. In the current study, the FeMnOx@CPT anticancer platform, with its boosted •OH-producing capability and ROS-cleavable drug release, has been validated utilizing in vitro and animal studies, suggesting its capacity as a viable strategy for clinical trials.

Abstract
The healing of biofilm-infected diabetic wounds characterized by a deteriorative tissue microenvironment represents a substantial clinical challenge. Current treatments remain unsatisfactory due to the limited antibiofilm efficacy caused by weak tissue and biofilm permeability of drugs and the risk of reinfection during the healing process. To address these issues, an integrated therapeutic and preventive nanozyme-based microneedle (denoted as Fe2 C/GOx@MNs) is engineered. The dissolvable tips with enough mechanical strength can deliver and rapidly release Fe2 C nanoparticles (NPs)/glucose oxidase (GOx) in the biofilm active regions, enhancing tissue and biofilm permeability of Fe2 C NPs/GOx, ultimately achieving highly efficient biofilm elimination. Meanwhile, the chitosan backing layer can not only act as an excellent physical barrier between the wound bed and the external environment, but also prevent the bacterial reinvasion during wound healing with its superior antibacterial property. Significantly, the biofilm elimination and reinfection prevention abilities of Fe2 C/GOx@MNs on wound healing are proved on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-biofilm-infected diabetic mouse model with full-thickness wound. Together, these results demonstrate the promising clinical application of Fe2 C/GOx@MNs in biofilm-infected wound healing.

Abstract
Infected bone defects (IBDs) exhibit impaired healing due to excessive inflammation triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from bacteria. As a vital factor in orchestrating immune responses, mitochondrial homeostasis maintenance is central to inflammation blockade. This research developed a chameleon-like nanoplatform by covering hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with a cerium ion coordinated tannic acid supramolecular network (HA@Ce-TA), which adaptively functions to regulate mitochondrial homeostasis based on intra- and extracellular environments. Extracellularly, acidic conditions activate HA@Ce-TA's peroxidase/oxidase-mimicking activity to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), and external near-infrared (NIR) irradiation excites nanoscale Ce-TA to produce hyperthermia, which is found and explained by chemical computation. ROS production with photothermal therapy can eliminate bacteria effectively and reduce mitochondrial stress. Intracellularly, HA@Ce-TA remodels mitochondrial dynamics by upregulating mitochondrial fusion genes and eliminates excessive ROS by mimicking superoxidase/catalase. Consequently, this comprehensive modulation of mitochondrial homeostasis inhibits inflammasome overactivation. In vitro and in vivo studies showed HA@Ce-TA can modulate the mitochondria-centered inflammatory cascade to enhance IBD treatment, highlighting the potential of engineering nanotherapeutics to recalibrate mitochondrial homeostasis as an infected disease-modifying intervention.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and persistent inflammation can impede the intrinsic healing process of wounds. To combat this issue, researchers have delved into the potential use of carbon dots (CDs) in the regulation of inflammation and counteract infections. These CDs were synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal process and have demonstrated outstanding antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Additionally, CDs displayed biocompatibility at therapeutic concentrations and the ability to specifically target mitochondria. CD treatment effectively nullified lipopolysaccharide-triggered reactive oxygen species production by macrophages, while simultaneously promoting macrophage polarization toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2), leading to a reduction in inflammation and an acceleration in wound healing. In vitro scratch assays also revealed that CDs facilitated the tissue-repairing process by stimulating epithelial cell migration during reepithelialization. In vivo studies using CDs topically applied to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated wounds in C57/BL6 mice demonstrated significant improvements in wound healing due to enhanced fibroblast proliferation, angiogenesis, and collagen deposition. Crucially, histological investigations showed no indications of systemic toxicity in vital organs. Collectively, the application of CDs has shown immense potential in speeding up the wound-healing process by regulating inflammation, preventing bacterial infections, and promoting tissue repair. These results suggest that further clinical translation of CDs should be considered.

Abstract
Bacterial infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Even with the use of multiple antibiotic treatment strategies, 4.95 million people died from drug-resistant bacterial infections in 2019. By 2050, the number of deaths will reach 10 million annually. The increasing mortality may be partly due to bacterial heterogeneity in the infection microenvironment, such as drug-resistant bacteria, biofilms, persister cells, intracellular bacteria, and small colony variants. In addition, the complexity of the immune microenvironment at different stages of infection makes biomaterials with direct antimicrobial activity unsatisfactory for the long-term treatment of chronic bacterial infections. The increasing mortality may be partly attributed to the biomaterials failing to modulate the active antimicrobial action of immune cells. Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective alternatives to treat bacterial infections. Accordingly, the development of immunomodulatory antimicrobial biomaterials has recently received considerable interest; however, a comprehensive review of their research progress is lacking. In this review, we focus mainly on the research progress and future perspectives of immunomodulatory antimicrobial biomaterials used at different stages of infection. First, we describe the characteristics of the immune microenvironment in the acute and chronic phases of bacterial infections. Then, we highlight the immunomodulatory strategies for antimicrobial biomaterials at different stages of infection and their corresponding advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, we discuss biomaterial-mediated bacterial vaccines' potential applications and challenges for activating innate and adaptive immune memory. This review will serve as a reference for future studies to develop next-generation immunomodulatory biomaterials and accelerate their translation into clinical practice.

Abstract
Foodborne pathogens are a primary cause of human foodborne illness, making it imperative to explore novel antibacterial strategies for their control. In this study, Fe-γ-CD was successfully synthesized as a food antibacterial agent for use in milk and orange juice. The Fe-γ-CD consists of 6/11 Fe(II) and 5/11 Fe(III), which catalyze a Fenton-like catalytic reaction with H2O2 to generate •OH. Consequently, Fe-γ-CD exhibits exceptional peroxidase-like activity and broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy. Fe-γ-CD not only disrupts the wall structure of ESBL-E. coli but also induces protein leakage and genetic destruction, ultimately leading to its death. Furthermore, Fe-γ-CD inhibits biofilm formation by MRSA and eradicates mature biofilms, resulting in MRSA's demise. Importantly, Fe-γ-CD demonstrates negligible cytotoxicity toward normal mammalian cells, making it an ideal candidate for application as an antibacterial agent in foodstuffs. These findings highlight that Fe-γ-CD is an effective tool for combating the spread of foodborne pathogens and food safety.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are characterized by drug-resistant bacterial infections, biofilm formation, impaired angiogenesis and perfusion, and oxidative damage to the microenvironment. Given their complex nature, diabetic wounds remain a major challenge in clinical practice. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been shown to trigger hyperinflammation and excessive cellular apoptosis, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds. ROS-scavenging nanosystems have recently emerged as smart and multifunctional nanomedicines with broad synergistic applicability. The documented anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic ability of ROS-scavenging treatments predestines these nanosystems as promising options for the treatment of diabetic wounds. Yet, in this context, the therapeutic applicability and efficacy of ROS-scavenging nanosystems remain to be elucidated. Herein, the role of ROS in diabetic wounds is deciphered, and the properties and strengths of nanosystems with ROS-scavenging capacity for the treatment of diabetic wounds are summarized. In addition, the current challenges of such nanosystems and their potential future directions are discussed through a clinical-translational lens.

Abstract
The application of medical implants has greatly improved the survival rate and life quality of patients. Nevertheless, in recent years, there are increasing cases of implant dysfunction or failure because of bacterial infections. Despite significant improvements in biomedicine, there are still serious challenges in the treatment of implant-related infections. With the formation of bacterial biofilms and the development of bacterial resistance, these limitations lead to a low efficacy of conventional antibiotics. To address these challenges, it is urgent to exploit innovative treatment strategies for implant-related infections. Based on these ideas, environment-responsive therapeutic platforms with high selectivity, low drug resistance, and minor dose-limiting toxicity have attracted widespread attention. By using exogenous/endogenous stimuli, the antibacterial activity of therapeutics can be activated on demand and exhibit remarkable therapeutic effects. Exogenous stimuli include photo, magnetism, microwave, and ultrasound. Endogenous stimuli mainly include the pathological characteristics of bacterial infections such as acidic pH, anomalous temperature, and abnormal enzymatic activities.

Abstract
Imbalance in the tissue microenvironment is the main obstacle to drug delivery and distribution in the human body. Before penetrating the pathological tissue microenvironment to the target site, therapeutic agents are usually accompanied by three consumption steps: the first step is tissue physical barriers for prevention of their penetration, the second step is inactivation of them by biological molecules, and the third step is a cytoprotective mechanism for preventing them from functioning on specific subcellular organelles. However, recent studies in drug-hindering mainly focus on normal physiological rather than pathological microenvironment, and the repair of damaged physiological barriers is also rarely discussed. Actually, both the modulation of pathological barriers and the repair of damaged physiological barriers are essential in the disease treatment and the homeostasis maintenance. In this review, we present an overview describing the latest advances in the generality of these pathological barriers and barrier-modulated nanomedicine. Overall, this review holds considerable significance for guiding the design of nanomedicine to increase drug efficacy in the future.

Nitrogen-phosphorous co-doped carbonized chitosan nanoparticles for chemotherapy and ROS-mediated immunotherapy of intracellular Staphylococcus aureus infection. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 315:121013.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) residing in host macrophages is hard to clear because intracellular S. aureus has evolved mechanisms to hijack and subvert the immune response to favor intracellular infection. To overcome this challenge, nitrogen-phosphorous co-doped carbonized chitosan nanoparticles (NPCNs), which possess the polymer/carbon hybrid structures, were fabricated to clear intracellular S. aureus infection through chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Multi-heteroatom NPCNs were fabricated through the hydrothermal method, where chitosan and imidazole were used as the C and N sources and phosphoric acid as the P source. NPCNs can not only be used as a fluorescent probe for bacteria imaging but also kill extracellular and intracellular bacteria with low cytotoxicity. NPCNs could generate ROS and polarize macrophages into classically activated (M1) phenotypes to increase antibacterial immunity. Furthermore, NPCNs could accelerate intracellular S. aureus-infected wound healing in vivo. We envision that these carbonized chitosan nanoparticles may provide a new platform for clearing intracellular bacterial infection through chemotherapy and ROS-mediated immunotherapy.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) are the leading cause of prosthetic implant failure. The dense biofilm structure prevents antibiotic penetration, while the highly acidic and H2 O2 -rich biofilm microenvironment (BME) dampens the immunological response of antimicrobial macrophages. Conventional treatments that fail to consistently suppress escaping planktonic bacteria from biofilm result in refractory recolonization, allowing BAIs to persist. Herein, a BME-responsive copper-doped polyoxometalate clusters (Cu-POM) combination with mild photothermal therapy (PTT) and macrophage immune re-rousing for BAI eradication at all stages is proposed. The self-assembly of Cu-POM in BME converts endogenous H2 O2 to toxic ·OH through chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and generates a mild PTT effect to induce bacterial metabolic exuberance, resulting in loosening the membrane structure of the bacteria, enhancing copper transporter activity and increasing intracellular Cu-POM flux. Metabolomics reveals that intracellular Cu-POM overload restricts the TCA cycle and peroxide accumulation, promoting bacterial cuproptosis-like death. CDT re-rousing macrophages scavenge planktonic bacteria escaping biofilm disintegration through enhanced chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Overall, BME-responsive Cu-POM promotes bacterial cuproptosis-like death via metabolic interference, while also re-rousing macrophage immune response for further planktonic bacteria elimination, resulting in all-stage BAI clearance and providing a new reference for future clinical application.

Abstract
Oral biofilms, which are also known as dental plaque, are the culprit of a wide range of oral diseases and systemic diseases, thus contributing to serious health risks. The manner of how to achieve good control of oral biofilms has been an increasing public concern. Novel antimicrobial biomaterials with highly controllable fabrication and functionalization have been proven to be promising candidates. However, previous reviews have generally emphasized the physicochemical properties, action mode, and application effectiveness of those biomaterials, whereas insufficient attention has been given to the design rationales tailored to different infection types and application scenarios. To offer guidance for better diversification and functionalization of anti-oral-biofilm biomaterials, this review details the up-to-date design rationales in three aspects: the core strategies in combating oral biofilm, as well as the biomaterials with advanced antibiofilm capacity and multiple functions based on the improvement or combination of the abovementioned antimicrobial strategies. Thereafter, insights on the existing challenges and future improvement of biomaterial-assisted oral biofilm treatments are proposed, hoping to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the subsequent design and application of antibiofilm biomaterials.

Abstract
Nanozymes, featuring intrinsic biocatalytic effects and broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, are emerging as a novel antibiotic class. However, prevailing bactericidal nanozymes face a challenging dilemma between biofilm penetration and bacterial capture capacity, significantly impeding their antibacterial efficacy. Here, this work introduces a photomodulable bactericidal nanozyme (ICG@hMnOx ), composed of a hollow virus-spiky MnOx nanozyme integrated with indocyanine green, for dually enhanced biofilm penetration and bacterial capture for photothermal-boosted catalytic therapy of bacterial infections. ICG@hMnOx demonstrates an exceptional capability to deeply penetrate biofilms, owing to its pronounced photothermal effect that disrupts the compact structure of biofilms. Simultaneously, the virus-spiky surface significantly enhances the bacterial capture capacity of ICG@hMnOx . This surface acts as a membrane-anchored generator of reactive oxygen species and a glutathione scavenger, facilitating localized photothermal-boosted catalytic bacterial disinfection. Effective treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-associated biofilm infections is achieved using ICG@hMnOx , offering an appealing strategy to overcome the longstanding trade-off between biofilm penetration and bacterial capture capacity in antibacterial nanozymes. This work presents a significant advancement in the development of nanozyme-based therapies for combating biofilm-related bacterial infections.

Abstract
The advent of drug-resistant pathogens results in the occurrence of stubborn bacterial infections that cannot be treated with traditional antibiotics. Antibacterial immunotherapy by reviving or activating the body's immune system to eliminate pathogenic bacteria has confirmed promising therapeutic strategies in controlling bacterial infections. Subsequent studies found that antimicrobial immunotherapy has its own benefits and limitations, such as avoiding recurrence of infection and autoimmunity-induced side effects. Current studies indicate that the various antibacterial therapeutic strategies inducing immune regulation can achieve superior therapeutic efficacy compared with monotherapy alone. Therefore, summarizing the recent advances in nanomedicine with immunomodulatory functions for combating bacterial infections is necessary. Herein, we briefly introduce the crisis caused by drug-resistant bacteria and the opportunity for antibacterial immunotherapy. Then, immune-involved multimodal antibacterial therapy for the treatment of infectious diseases was systematically summarized. Finally, the prospects and challenges of immune-involved combinational therapy are discussed.

Abstract
The wide and frequent use of antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infection can cause the occurrence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, which becomes a serious health threat. Therefore, it is necessary to develop antibiotic-independent treatment modalities. Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is defined as the approach employing Fenton and/or Fenton-like reactions for generating hydroxyl radical (•OH) that can kill target cells. Recently, CDT has been successfully employed for antibacterial applications. Apart from the common Fe-mediated CDT strategy, antibacterial CDT strategies mediated by other metal elements such as copper, manganese, cobalt, molybdenum, platinum, tungsten, nickel, silver, ruthenium, and zinc have also been proposed. Furthermore, different types of materials like nanomaterials and hydrogels can be adopted for constructing CDT-involved antibacterial platforms. Besides, CDT can introduce some toxic metal elements and then achieve synergistic antibacterial effects together with reactive oxygen species. Finally, CDT can be combined with other therapies such as starvation therapy, phototherapy, and sonodynamic therapy for achieving improved antibacterial performance. This review first summarizes the advancements in antibacterial CDT and then discusses the present limitations and future research directions in this field, hoping to promote the development of more effective materials and strategies for achieving potentiated CDT.

Abstract
The resistance and immune escape of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms cause recalcitrant infections. Here, we design a targeting and synergizing cascade PDT with nutritional immunotherapy nanosystems (Arg-PCN@Gel) containing PCN-224 as PDT platform for providing reactive oxygen species (ROS), incorporating arginine (Arg) as nitric oxide (NO) donor to cascade with ROS to produce more lethal ONOO- and promote immune response, and coating with gelatin as targeting agent and persistent Arg provider. The nanosystems adhered to the autolysin of MRSA and inhibited Arg metabolism by down-regulating icdA and icaA. It suppressed polysaccharide intercellular adhesin and extracellular DNA synthesis to prevent biofilm formation. The NO broke mature biofilms and helped ROS and ONOO- penetrate into biofilms to inactivate internal MRSA. Arg-PCN@Gel drove Arg to enhance immunity via inducible NO synthase/NO axis and arginase/polyamine axis and achieve efficient target treatment in MRSA biofilm infections. The targeting and cascading PDT synergized with nutritional immunotherapy provide an effective promising strategy for biofilm-associated infections.

Abstract
The recurrence of biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) remains high after implant-associated surgery. Biofilms on the implant surface reportedly shelter bacteria from antibiotics and evade innate immune defenses. Moreover, little is currently known about eliminating residual bacteria that can induce biofilm reinfection. Herein, novel "interference-regulation strategy" based on bovine serum albumin-iridium oxide nanoparticles (BIONPs) as biofilm homeostasis interrupter and immunomodulator via singlet oxygen (1 O2 )-sensitized mild hyperthermia for combating BAIs is reported. The catalase-like BIONPs convert abundant H2 O2 inside the biofilm-microenvironment (BME) to sufficient oxygen gas (O2 ), which can efficiently enhance the generation of 1 O2 under near-infrared irradiation. The 1 O2 -induced biofilm homeostasis disturbance (e.g., sigB, groEL, agr-A, icaD, eDNA) can disrupt the sophisticated defense system of biofilm, further enhancing the sensitivity of biofilms to mild hyperthermia. Moreover, the mild hyperthermia-induced bacterial membrane disintegration results in protein leakage and 1 O2 penetration to kill bacteria inside the biofilm. Subsequently, BIONPs-induced immunosuppressive microenvironment re-rousing successfully re-polarizes macrophages to pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in vivo to devour residual biofilm and prevent biofilm reconstruction. Collectively, this 1 O2 -sensitized mild hyperthermia can yield great refractory BAIs treatment via biofilm homeostasis interference, mild-hyperthermia, and immunotherapy, providing a novel and effective anti-biofilm strategy.

Abstract
Implant infections are difficult to cure by traditional antibiotic therapy due to bacterial biofilm-induced antibiotic tolerance and impaired immune responses. To efficiently treat implant infections, therapeutic agents need to kill bacteria and regulate the inflammatory response of immune cells during the biofilm elimination process. Herein, multifunctional smart hollow Cu2MoS4 nanospheres (H-CMS NSs) with pH-responsive enzyme-like activities were prepared for self-adaptively eliminating biofilms and regulating the inflammation of macrophages in implant infections. During biofilm infection, the tissue microenvironment around implants is acidic. H-CMS NSs with oxidase (OXD)/peroxidase (POD)-like activities can catalyze reactive oxidative species (ROS) generation for directly killing bacteria and polarizing macrophages to a proinflammatory phenotype. Moreover, the POD-like activity and antibacterial property of H-CMS NSs can be further enhanced under ultrasound (US) irradiation. After the elimination of biofilms, the tissue microenvironment around implants shifts from acidic to neutral. H-CMS NSs show catalase (CAT)-like activity and eliminate excessive ROS, which polarizes macrophages to anti-inflammatory phenotype and promotes healing of infected tissue. This work provides a smart nanozyme with self-adaptive regulation of the antibiofilm activity and immune response by regulating ROS generation/elimination according to the different pathological microenvironments in implant infections during the different therapeutic stages.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) biofilm is the major cause of failure of implant infection treatment that results in heavy social and economic burden on individuals, families, and communities. Planktonic S. aureus attaches to medical implant surfaces where it proliferates and is wrapped by extracellular polymeric substances, forming a solid and complex biofilm. This provides a stable environment for bacterial growth, infection maintenance, and diffusion and protects the bacteria from antimicrobial agents and the immune system of the host. Macrophages are an important component of the innate immune system and resist pathogen invasion and infection through phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and cytokine secretion. The persistence, spread, or clearance of infection is determined by interplay between macrophages and S. aureus in the implant infection microenvironment. In this review, we discuss the interactions between S. aureus biofilm and macrophages, including the effects of biofilm-related bacteria on the macrophage immune response, roles of myeloid-derived suppressor cells during biofilm infection, regulation of immune cell metabolic patterns by the biofilm environment, and immune evasion strategies adopted by the biofilm against macrophages. Finally, we summarize the current methods that support macrophage-mediated removal of biofilms and emphasize the importance of considering multi-dimensions and factors related to implant-associated infection such as immunity, metabolism, the host, and the pathogen when developing new treatments.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a main cause of pre-hospital death. Given the importance of hemostatic wound dressings in pre-hospital emergency treatment, novel composite materials are required for fast hemostasis, synergistic bacterial ablation with negligible resistance and wound healing acceleration. Herein, multifunctional SCTF cryogels were fabricated by the simultaneous cross-linking of sodium alginate (SA) and tannic acid (TA) with Fe3+ ions. As a result, the prepared SCTF cryogels consisted of Fe3+/TA-based metal phenolic networks (MPNs) and Fe3+/SA-based 3D skeleton for collagen (CA). MPNs endowed the cryogels with photothermal effect, photothermal-enhanced Fenton activity and pH/photothermal dual-responsive release property of TA and Fe2+, which were beneficial for the antibacterial capacity. Due to the intrinsic high porosity, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that SCTF cryogels possessed good hemostatic capacity. Moreover, the synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and pH/photothermal responsive chemo-therapy dramatically enhanced the bactericidal efficacy of SCTF cryogels both in vitro and in vivo. Eventually, their outstanding healing-accelerating effects were confirmed via animal experiments, which were attributed to the presence of CA and TA. Therefore, the developed composite materials could offer new strategy on exploiting multifunctional wound dressing for clinical applications in the future.

Abstract
Currently used wound dressings are ineffective. Hence, there is a need to develop introduce a high-performance medicament with multiple functions including rapid hemostasis and excellent antibacterial activity to meet the growing worldwide demand for wound healing products. Here, inspired by the strong adhesion of mussels and the enzyme-mimicking activity of nanometallic biomaterials, the authors developed an injectable hydrogel to overcome multiple limitations of current wound dressings. The hydrogel is synthesized via esterification reaction between poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), followed by catechol-metal coordination between Cu2+ and the catechol groups of DOPA to form a PVA-DOPA-Cu (PDPC) hydrogel. The PDPC hydrogel possesses excellent tissue adhesive, antioxidative, photothermal, antibacterial, and hemostatic properties. The hydrogel rapidly and efficiently stopped bleeding under different traumatic conditions, including otherwise-lethal liver injury, high-pressure carotid artery rupture, and even fatal cardiac penetration injuries in animal models. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the PDPC hydrogel affected high-performance wound repair and tissue regeneration by accelerating re-epithelialization, promoting collagen deposition, regulating inflammation, and contributing to vascularization. The results show that PDPC hydrogel is a promising candidate for rapid hemorrhage control and efficient wound healing in multiple clinical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm-associated infection is a life-threatening emergency contributing from drug resistance and immune escape. Herein, a novel non-antibiotic strategy based on the synergy of bionanocatalysts-driven heat-amplified chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and innate immunomodulation is proposed for specific biofilm elimination by the smart design of a biofilm microenvironment (BME)-responsive double-layered metal-organic framework (MOF) bionanocatalysts (MACG) composed of MIL-100 and CuBTC. Once reaching the acidic BME, the acidity-triggered degradation of CuBTC allows the sequential release of glucose oxidase (GOx) and an activable photothermal agent, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). GOx converts glucose into H2O2 and gluconic acid, which can further acidify the BME to accelerate the CuBTC degradation and GOx/ABTS release. The in vitro and in vivo results show that horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mimicking MIL-100 in the presence of self-supplied H2O2 can catalyze the oxidation of ABTS into oxABTS to yield a photothermal effect that breaks the biofilm structure via eDNA damage. Simultaneously, the Cu ion released from the degraded CuBTC can deplete glutathione and catalyze the splitting of H2O2 into •OH, which can effectively penetrate the heat-induced loose biofilms and kill sessile bacteria (up to 98.64%), such as E. coli and MRSA. Particularly, MACG-stimulated M1-macrophage polarization suppresses the biofilm regeneration by secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α, etc.) and forming a continuous pro-inflammatory microenvironment in peri-implant biofilm infection animals for at least 14 days. Such BME-responsive strategy has the promise to precisely eliminate refractory peri-implant biofilm infections with extremely few adverse effects.

Abstract
Inherited bacterial resistance and biofilm-induced local immune inactivation are important factors in the failure of antibiotics to fight against bacterial infections. Herein, antibiotic-loaded mesoporous nanozymes (HA@MRuO2 -Cip/GOx) are fabricated for overcoming bacterial resistance, and activating the local immunosuppression in biofilm microenvironment (BME). HA@MRuO2 -Cip/GOx are prepared by physical adsorption between ciprofloxacin (Cip) or glucose oxidase (GOx) and MRuO2 NPs, and modified with hyaluronic acid (HA). In vitro, HA@MRuO2 -Cip/GOx cleaves extracellular DNA (eDNA) to disrupt biofilm, thereby enhancing Cip kill planktonic bacteria. Furthermore, HA@MRuO2 -Cip/GOx can induce polarization and enhance phagocytosis of a macrophage-derived cell line. More importantly, in vivo therapeutic performance confirms that HA@MRuO2 -Cip/GOx can trigger macrophage-related immunity, and effectively alleviate MRSA-bacterial lung infections. Accordingly, nanocatalytic therapy combined with targeted delivery of antibiotics could enhance the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Bactericidal nanomedicines often suffer from a complicated design and insufficient intrinsic inhibitory efficacy. Herein, novel anti-bacterial copper telluride (CuTe) nano-clusters are reported, featuring superior bactericidal efficiency, facile preparation, and unique mechanism. These nanoparticles, well dispersable in water, resembled grape clusters with rough surfaces. The CuTe nano-grape clusters exhibited ultra-high sterilization efficacy at ultra-low concentration, particularly for Gram-negative bacteria, and were more potent than conventional anti-microbial nanoparticles. Also, the grape clusters effectively inhibited the bacterial biofilm development. Further investigation revealed the synergized mechanisms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and glutathione (GSH) depletion. Interestingly, electron microscopy revealed that the grape clusters served as bacterial hunters by tightly adhering to bacterial surfaces. The bacteria subsequently suffered from the leakage of various intracellular components including nucleic acid, proteins, and potassium. Most encouragingly, CuTe drastically reduced bacterial number in a mouse model with lethal intraperitoneal infection and increased the mouse survival rate to 90%. This finding could inspire the development of highly potent bactericidal inorganic formulations with simplified structure, multiple antibacterial mechanisms, and promising application potential.

Abstract
Efficient treatment of chronic lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms is a great challenge because of drug tolerance and immune evasion issues. Here, we develop ultrasound-responsive catalytic microbubbles with biofilm elimination and immune activation properties to combat chronic lung infection induced by P. aeruginosa biofilms. In these microbubbles, piperacillin and Fe3O4 nanoparticles form a drug-loaded shell surrounding the air core. Under ultrasound stimulation, the microbubbles can physically disrupt the structure of biofilms and enhance the penetration of both Fe3O4 nanoparticles and piperacillin into the biofilm. Then, Fe3O4 nanoparticles chemically degrade the biofilm matrix and kill the bacteria with the assistance of piperacillin. Fe3O4 nanoparticles can activate the immune response for biofilm elimination by polarizing macrophages into a pro-inflammatory phenotype. These ultrasound-responsive catalytic microbubbles efficiently treat chronic lung infections in a mouse model by combining physical/chemical/antibiotic biofilm elimination and immune activation, thus providing a promising strategy for combating bacterial biofilm infections.

Recent Progress in Type I Aggregation-Induced Emission Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010332.

Abstract
In modern medicine, precision diagnosis and treatment using optical materials, such as fluorescence/photoacoustic imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT), are becoming increasingly popular. Photosensitizers (PSs) are the most important component of PDT. Different from conventional PSs with planar molecular structures, which are susceptible to quenching effects caused by aggregation, the distinct advantages of AIE fluorogens open up new avenues for the development of image-guided PDT with improved treatment accuracy and efficacy in practical applications. It is critical that as much of the energy absorbed by optical materials is dissipated into the pathways required to maximize biomedical applications as possible. Intersystem crossing (ISC) represents a key step during the energy conversion process that determines many fundamental optical properties, such as increasing the efficiency of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from PSs, thus enhancing PDT efficacy. Although some review articles have summarized the accomplishments of various optical materials in imaging and therapeutics, few of them have focused on how to improve the phototherapeutic applications, especially PDT, by adjusting the ISC process of organic optics materials. In this review, we emphasize the latest advances in the reasonable design of AIE-active PSs with type I photochemical mechanism for anticancer or antibacterial applications based on ISC modulation, as well as discuss the future prospects and challenges of them. In order to maximize the anticancer or antibacterial effects of type I AIE PSs, it is the aim of this review to offer advice for their design with the best energy conversion.

Photothermal Nanozyme-Based Microneedle Patch against Refractory Bacterial Biofilm Infection via Iron-Actuated Janus Ion Therapy. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2207961.

Abstract
Owing to high antibiotic resistance and thermotolerance, bacterial biofilm infections (BBIs) are refractory to elimination. Iron is essential for bacterial growth and metabolism, and bacteria can thus accumulate iron from surrounding cells to maintain biofilm formation and survival. Consequently, iron deficiency in the biofilm microenvironment (BME) leads to the functional failure of innate immune cells. Herein, a novel antibiofilm strategy of iron-actuated Janus ion therapy (IJIT) is proposed to regulate iron metabolism in both bacterial biofilm and immune cells. A BME-responsive photothermal microneedle patch (FGO@MN) is synthesized by the growth of Fe3 O4 nanoparticles on graphene oxide nanosheets and then encapsulated in methacrylated hyaluronic acid needle tips. The catalytic product of ·OH by FGO@MN in BME disrupts the bacterial heat-shock proteins, coercing biofilm thermal sensitization. As synergistic mild photothermal treatment triggers iron uptake, the intracellular iron overload further induces ferroptosis-like death. Moreover, iron-nourished neutrophils around BME can be rejuvenated for reactivating the suppressed antibiofilm function. Thus, more than 95% BBIs elimination can be achieved by combining heat stress-triggered iron interference with iron-nutrient immune reactivation. Furthermore, in vivo experiments validate the scavenging of refractory BBI after 15 days, suggesting the promising perspective of IJIT in future clinical application.

Abstract
The pH-responsive theragnostics exhibit great potential for precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Herein, acidity-activatable nanoparticles of GB@P based on glucose oxidase (GO) and polyaniline are developed for treatment of biofilm infection. Catalyzed by GO, GB@P triggers the conversion of glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), enabling an acidic microenvironment-activated simultaneously enhanced photothermal (PT) effect/amplified photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The synergistic effects of the enhanced PT efficacy of GB@P and H2 O2 accelerate biofilm eradication because the penetration of H2 O2 into biofilm improves the bacterial sensitivity to heat, and the enhanced PT effect destroys the expressions of extracellular DNA and genomic DNA, resulting in biofilm destruction and bacterial death. Importantly, GB@P facilitates the polarization of proinflammatory M1 macrophages that initiates macrophage-related immunity, which enhances the phagocytosis of macrophages and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, leading to a sustained bactericidal effect and biofilm eradication by the innate immunomodulatory effect. Accordingly, the nanoplatform of GB@P exhibits the synergistic effects on the biofilm eradication and bacterial residuals clearance through a combination of the enhanced PT effect with immunomodulation. This study provides a promising nanoplatform with enhanced PT efficacy and amplified PAI for diagnosis and treatment of biofilm infection.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), a newly developed approach for cancer treatment, can convert hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by using Fenton/Fenton-like reaction to kill tumor cells. However, due to the complexity of the intracellular environment of tumor cells, the therapeutic efficacy of CDT was severely restricted. Recently, combination therapy strategies have become popular approaches for tumor treatment, and there are numerous studies have demonstrated that the CDT-based combination strategies can significantly improve the anti-tumor efficiency of CDT. In this review, we outline some of the recent progress in cancer chemodynamic therapy from 2020, and discuss the progress in the design of nanosystems for CDT synergistic combination therapies.

Abstract
Wound healing has remained a critical challenge due to its susceptibility to bacterial infection and the unique biological inflammatory response. Safe and effective therapeutics are still lacking. Biodegradable macromolecules (ε-polylysine-g-ferrocene, EPL-g-Fc) were developed to accelerate wound healing by combating bacterial infection and attenuating inflammatory responses. The biodegradable macromolecules were prepared via a Schiff-based reaction between ferrocene carboxaldehyde (Fc) and ε-polylysine (EPL). Through the synergistic combination of positive-charged EPL and π-π stacked Fc, the macromolecules possess excellent antibacterial activities. EPL-g-Fc with catalase-like activity could modulate the oxidative microenvironment in mammalian cells and zebrafish by catalyzing H2O2 into H2O and O2. EPL-g-Fc could alleviate inflammatory response in vitro. Furthermore, the macromolecules could accelerate bacteria-infected wound healing in vivo. This work provides a versatile strategy for repairing bacteria-infected wounds by eliminating bacteria, modulating oxidative microenvironment, and alleviating inflammatory response.
