Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) shows promise in tumor treatment, particularly when combined with nanotechnology. This study examines the impact of deep learning, particularly the Cellpose algorithm, on the comprehension of cancer cell responses to PDT. The Cellpose algorithm enables robust morphological analysis of cancer cells, while logistic growth modelling predicts cellular behavior post-PDT. Rigorous model validation ensures the accuracy of the findings. Cellpose demonstrates significant morphological changes after PDT, affecting cellular proliferation and survival. The reliability of the findings is confirmed by model validation. This deep learning tool enhances our understanding of cancer cell dynamics after PDT. Advanced analytical techniques, such as morphological analysis and growth modeling, provide insights into the effects of PDT on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, which could potentially improve cancer treatment efficacy. In summary, the research examines the role of deep learning in optimizing PDT parameters to personalize oncology treatment and improve efficacy.

Abstract
Antibacterial theranostic nanoplatforms, which integrate diagnostic and therapeutic properties, exhibit gigantic application prospects in precision medicine. However, traditional theranostic nanoplatforms usually present an always-on signal output, which leads to poor specificity or selectivity in the treatment of bacterial infections. To address this challenge, stimuli-actuated turn-on nanoplatforms are developed for simultaneous activation of diagnostic signals (e.g., fluorescent, photoacoustic, magnetic signals) and initiation of antibacterial treatment. Specifically, by combining the infection microenvironment-responsive activation of visual signals and antibacterial activity, these theranostic nanoplatforms exert both higher accurate diagnosis rates and more effective treatment effects. In this review, the imaging and treatment strategies that are commonly used in the clinic are first briefly introduced. Next, the recent progress of stimuli-actuated turn-on theranostic nanoplatforms for treating bacterial infectious diseases is summarized in detail. Finally, current bottlenecks and future opportunities of antibacterial theranostic nanoplatforms are also outlined and discussed.

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. In this review, the recent progress of environment-responsive therapeutic platforms with spatiotemporally controlled drug release/activation is systematically summarized. Afterward, the limitations and opportunities of these emerging platforms are highlighted. Finally, it is hoped that this review will offer novel ideas and techniques to combat implant-related infections.

Abstract
Cancer has emerged as a pressing global public health issue, and improving the effectiveness of cancer treatment remains one of the foremost challenges of modern medicine. The primary clinical methods of treating cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, inevitably result in some adverse effects on the body. However, the advent of photothermal therapy offers an alternative route for cancer treatment. Photothermal therapy relies on photothermal agents with photothermal conversion capability to eliminate tumors at high temperatures, which offers advantages of high precision and low toxicity. As nanomaterials increasingly play a pivotal role in tumor prevention and treatment, nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy has gained significant attention owing to its superior photothermal properties and tumor-killing abilities. In this review, we briefly summarize and introduce the applications of common organic photothermal conversion materials (e.g., cyanine-based nanomaterials, porphyrin-based nanomaterials, polymer-based nanomaterials, etc.) and inorganic photothermal conversion materials (e.g., noble metal nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, etc.) in tumor photothermal therapy in recent years. Finally, the problems of photothermal nanomaterials in antitumour therapy applications are discussed. It is believed that nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy will have good application prospects in tumor treatment in the future.

Hyaluronic Acid-based Supramolecular Nanomedicine with Optimized Ratio of Oxaliplatin/Chlorin e6 for Combined Chemotherapy and O2-Economized Photodynamic Therapy. Acta Biomater 2023; 164:397-406. [PMID: 37004784 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.03.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Dual- or multi-modality combination therapy has become one of the most effective strategies to overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy, and the optimized ratio of the therapeutic agents working on the tumor greatly affects the therapeutic outcomes. However, the absence of a facile method to optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents in nanomedicine has, at least in part, impaired the clinical potential of combination therapy. Herein, a new cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7])-conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanomedicine was developed, in which both chlorin e6 (Ce6) and oxaliplatin (OX) were co-loaded non-covalently at an optimized ratio via facile host-guest complexation, for optimal, combined photodynamic therapy (PDT)/chemotherapy. To maximize the therapeutic efficacy, a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor, atovaquone (Ato), was also loaded into the nanomedicine to limit consumption of oxygen by the solid tumor, sparing oxygen for more efficient PDT. Additionally, HA on the surface of nanomedicine allowed targeted delivery to cancer cells with over-expressed CD44 receptors (such as CT26 cell lines). Thus, this supramolecular nanomedicine platform with an optimal ratio of photosensitizer and chemotherapeutic agent not only provides an important new tool for enhanced PDT/chemotherapy of solid tumors, but also offers a CB[7]-based host-guest complexation strategy to facilely optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents for multi-modality nanomedicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Chemotherapy remains the most common modality for cancer treatment in clinical practice. Combination therapy by co-delivery of two or more therapeutic agents has been recognized as one of the most effective strategies to improve therapeutic outcome of cancer treatment. However, the ratio of loaded drugs could not be facilely optimized, which may greatly affect the combination efficiency and overall therapeutic outcome. Herein, we developed a hyaluronic acid based supramolecular nanomedicine with facile method to optimize the ratio of two therapeutic agents for improved therapeutic outcome. This supramolecular nanomedicine not only provides an important new tool for enhanced photodynamic therapy/chemotherapy of solid tumors, but also offers insights in using macrocyclic molecule-based host-guest complexation to facilely optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents in multi-modality nanomedicine.

Endogenous/Exogenous Nanovaccines Synergistically Enhance Dendritic Cell-Mediated Tumor Immunotherapy. Adv Healthc Mater 2023:e2203028.

Abstract
Traditional dendritic cell (DC)-mediated immunotherapy is usually suppressed by weak immunogenicity in tumors and generally leads to unsatisfactory outcomes. Synergistic exogenous/endogenous immunogenic activation can provide an alternative strategy for evoking a robust immune response by promoting DC activation. Herein, Ti3 C2 MXene-based nanoplatforms (termed MXP) are prepared with high-efficiency near-infrared photothermal conversion and immunocompetent loading capacity to form endogenous/exogenous nanovaccines. Specifically, the immunogenic cell death of tumor cells induced by the photothermal effects of the MXP can generate endogenous danger signals and antigens release to boost vaccination for DC maturation and antigen cross-presentation. In addition, MXP can deliver model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) and agonists (CpG-ODN) as an exogenous nanovaccine (MXP@OC), which further enhances DC activation. Importantly, the synergistic strategy of photothermal therapy and DC-mediated immunotherapy by MXP significantly eradicates tumors and enhances adaptive immunity. Hence, the present work provides a two-pronged strategy for improving immunogenicity and killing tumor cells to achieve a favorable outcome in tumor patients.

Co-Delivery of Dihydroartemisinin and Indocyanine Green by Metal-Organic Framework-Based Vehicles for Combination Treatment of Hepatic Carcinoma. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14102047.

Abstract
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a widely used antimalarial agent, has clinical potential for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma. Although chemotherapy is indispensable for tumor therapy, it is generally limited by poor solubility, low efficiency, rapid clearance, and side effects. As an emerging treatment method, photothermal therapy (PTT) has many outstanding properties, but suffers from poor photostability of photosensitizer and incomplete ablation. Multimodal therapies could combine the advantages of different therapy methods to improve antitumor efficiency. Hence, we designed a nano-delivery system (ICG&DHA@ZIF-8) using zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with a high porous rate and pH sensitivity property, to co-load DHA and indocyanine green (ICG). Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. The photothermal conversion and drug release performances of ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 were investigated. In vitro antitumor efficacy and cellular uptake were studied. The mechanism of the combination treatment was studied by reactive oxygen species level detection and western blot assays. In vivo antitumor assays were then studied with the guidance of ex vivo imaging. The results showed that the ICG&DHA@ZIF-8 based combination therapy could efficiently kill hepatic carcinoma cells and suppress tumor growth. This research provides a potential nanodrug for the treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
Diabetic wound infection is a common disease that has significantly reduced people's quality of life. Although tremendous achievements have been made in clinical treatment, the crucial challenge in diabetic infected wound management stems from the detrimental diabetic wound environment and the emergence of bacterial resistance after long-term medication, which result in a reduced efficacy, an increased dosage of medication, and severe side effects. To tackle these issues, it is of great significance to develop an innovative treatment strategy for diabetic wound infection therapy. Currently, the exploitation of nanobiomaterial-based therapeutic systems for diabetic infected wounds is booming, and therapeutic systems with a stimuli-responsive performance have received extensive attention. These therapeutic systems are able to accelerate diabetic infected wound healing due to the on-demand release of therapeutic agents in diabetic infected wounds in response to stimulating factors. Based on the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds, many endogenous stimuli-responsive (e.g., glucose, enzyme, hypoxia, and acidity) therapeutic systems have been employed for the targeted treatment of infected wounds in diabetic patients. Additionally, exogenous stimulants, including light, magnetism, and temperature, are also capable of achieving on-demand drug release and activation. In this review, the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds are presented, and then exogenous/endogenous stimuli therapeutic systems for the treatment of diabetic infected wounds are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future outlook of stimuli-responsive therapeutic systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC) nanoparticles characterized by red upconversion emission, particularly interesting for biological applications, have been prepared and subsequently modified by the covalent anchoring of Verteporfin (Ver), an FDA approved photosensitizer (PS) which usually exerts its photodynamic activity upon excitation with red light. ZrO2 was chosen as the platform where Yb3+ and Er3+ were inserted as the sensitizer and activator ions, respectively. Careful control of the doping ratio, along with a detailed physico-chemical characterization, was carried out. Upon functionalization with a silica shell to covalently anchor the photosensitizer, a theranostic nanoparticle was obtained whose architecture, thanks to a favorable energy level match and a uniform distribution of the PS, allowed us to trigger the photodynamic activity of Ver by upconversion, thus paving the way to the use of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in deep tissues, thanks to the higher penetrating power of NIR light.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has received substantial attention and poses a serious threat to human health. Although antibiotics can effectively fight against bacterial infection, the occurrence of antibiotic resistance has become increasingly serious in recent years, which tremendously hinders its clinical application. Consequently, it is urgent to explore novel strategies to achieve efficacious treatment of bacterial diagnosis and detection. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanomaterial has been extensively reported in tumor therapy. Nevertheless, there are few antibacterial reviews of MnO2. Herein, we will discuss the applications of MnO2 in the detection and treatment of bacterial infection, including photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, improvement of hypoxia, dual-modal combination therapy, reactive oxygen species scavenging, magnetic resonance imaging, optical application of acoustic imaging, and so forth. This review is expected to provide meaningful guidance on further research of MnO2 nanomaterial for antibacterial applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Copper agents have been widely used in crop protection because of their unique mechanism against resistant pathogenic bacteria; however, their application brings environmental pollution and biosafety problems. Therefore, environmentally friendly copper agents have attracted attention. In this study, copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) were prepared, characterized, analyzed for antibacterial activity and safety. RESULTS Characterization results showed that the prepared pure CuS NPs have flake nanostructures, hexagonal crystal system, and size range from 40 to 60 nm. These CuS NPs exerted excellent antibacterial effects [median effective concentration (EC50 ) = 17 mg L-1 ] against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) in vitro and can effectively delay and reduce bacterial infection in vivo. Antibacterial mechanism analysis revealed that CuS NPs can increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation and destroy the structure of bacterial cells as observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. These NPs can also inhibit the motility of Pcc. At 7 and 14 days, the 50% lethal concentrations (LC50 ) of CuS NPs against earthworms were 1136 and 783 mg kg-1 , respectively, indicating their low acute toxicity to earthworms and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, the cells (L02) treated by CuS NPs showed relatively high cell viability (> 96%) and low apoptosis rate (only 5.2%), proving that CuS NPs had low cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION Compared with commercial dicopper chloride trihydroxide (Cu2 (OH)3 Cl), CuS NPs could be used as a highly effective, lowly toxic, and environmentally friendly antibacterial agent. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The development of nanomaterials with therapeutic and/or diagnostic properties has been an active area of research in biomedical sciences over the past decade. Nanomaterials have been identified as significant medical tools with potential therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities that are practically impossible to accomplish using larger molecules or bulk materials. Fabrication of nanomaterials is the most effective platform to engineer therapeutic agents and delivery systems for the treatment of cancer. This is mostly due to the high selectivity of nanomaterials for cancerous cells, which is attributable to the porous morphology of tumour cells which allows nanomaterials to accumulate more in tumour cells more than in normal cells. Nanomaterials can be used as potential drug delivery systems since they exist in similar scale as proteins. The unique properties of nanomaterials have drawn a lot of interest from researchers in search of new chemotherapeutic treatment for cancer. Metal sulfide nanomaterials have emerged as the most used frameworks in the past decade, but they tend to aggregate because of their high surface energy which triggers the thermodynamically favoured interaction. Stabilizing agents such as polymer and microgels have been utilized to inhibit the particles from any aggregations. In this review, we explore the development of metal sulfide polymer/microgel nanocomposites as therapeutic agents against cancerous cells.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy as an emerging therapeutic strategy has been implemented for oncotherapy. However, the reactive oxygen species can be counteracted by the exorbitant glutathione (GSH) produced by the tumor cells before exerting the antitumor effect. Herein, borneol (NB) serving as a monoterpenoid sensitizer, and copper sulfide (CuS NPs) as an NIR-II photothermal agent were loaded in a thermo-responsive vehicle (NB/CuS@PCM NPs). Under 1,060-nm laser irradiation, the hyperthermia produced by CuS NPs can be used for photothermal therapy and melt the phase change material for drug delivery. In the acidity microenvironment, the CuS NPs released from NB/CuS@PCM NPs could degrade to Cu2+, then Cu2+ was reduced to Cu+ during the depletion of GSH. As Fenton-like catalyst, the copper ion could convert hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals for chemodynamic therapy. Moreover, the NB originated from NB/CuS@PCM NPs could increase the intracellular ROS content to improve the treatment outcome of chemodynamic therapy. The animal experimental results indicated that the NB/CuS@PCM NPs could accumulate at the tumor site and exhibit an excellent antitumor effect. This work confirmed that the combination of oxidative stress-induced damage and photothermal therapy is a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Background Dynamic changes in circulating immune-inflammatory cells have been regarded as simple and convenient prognostic biomarkers in various cancers. However, studies on the prognostic values of their ratios in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain limited. Materials and Methods A total of 493 OSCC patients were included in the present study. Here, we investigated the prognostic values of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-to-white blood cell ratio (NWR), and lymphocyte-to-white blood cell ratio (LWR) in OSCC. The correlations of the NLR, LMR, NWR, and LWR with clinicopathological characteristics were statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier curves, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression models. Result Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that OSCC patients with a high LMR and low NWR had prolonged overall survival (OS, P<0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS, P<0.001 and P=0.003, respectively), but there were no significant differences in metastasis-free survival (MFS, P=0.053 and P=0.052, respectively). In contrary, a high NLR and low LWR were associated with poor OS (P<0.001 and P=0.0016, respectively), DFS (P=0.0014 and 0.0012, respectively) and MFS (P=0.021 and 0.008, respectively). Additionally, Cox multivariate analyses showed that the LMR was an independent prognostic factor for both OS (P=0.007) and DFS (P=0.017), while the LWR was an independent prognostic factor for MFS (P=0.009). Conclusion Preoperative NLR, LMR, NWR, and LWR in the peripheral blood are significant prognostic factors for OSCC and might be helpful in predicting OSCC progression.

Abstract
Subcutaneous abscesses caused by drug-resistant bacteria pose huge challenges to human health. The design of infection microenvironment-activated biomaterials has an advantage for the diagnosis and treatment of infective diseases due to its high specificity and efficiency. Herein, a novel theranostic platform based on Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) is successfully constructed via a simple, fast and low-cost approach. The Cu2O NPs exhibit high sensitivity to overexpressed H2S and H2O2 in the bacterial infection microenvironment. After in situ injection, the Cu2O NPs will rapidly react with the endogenous H2S to generate Cu9S8 NPs, which exhibits high absorbance in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow. The Cu9S8 NPs serving as NIR-II photoacoustic contrast agents can exactly distinguish between inflammatory and normal tissues. With the guidance of NIR-II photoacoustic imaging (PAI), H2S-activated photothermal antibacterial therapy (PTAT) can realize excellent antibacterial performance under 1060 nm laser irradiation. Meanwhile, the Cu2O NPs can effectively catalyze H2O2 at the site of inflammation to produce hydroxyl radicals with strong antibacterial property via Fenton-like reaction, resulting in the damage of bacterial cell membrane. Furthermore, the application of Cu2O NPs can enhance epidermic migration and facilitate the re-epithelialization of the infected skin. In vivo experiment shows that 97.9% methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are eliminated by the synergistic PTAT and chemodynamic antibacterial therapy.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains have been continuously increasing and becoming a supreme threat to public health globally. The nanoparticle-based photothermal treatment has emerged as a powerful tool to combat toxic bacteria. Photothermal agents (PTAs) with cost-effective and high photothermal conversion efficiency are highly desirable. Herein, we unite the green process for delamination of V2AlC to produce a high yield mass of two-dimensional (2D) V2C nanosheets (NSs) by using algae extracts and demonstrate their high antibacterial efficiency. The resultant V2C NSs present decent structural reliability and intrinsic antibacterial ability. Powerful near-infrared (NIR) absorption and extraordinary photothermal conversion proficiency make it a good PTA for the photothermal treatment of bacteria. The antibacterial efficiency evaluation indicated that V2C NSs could effectively kill both Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli. About 99.5% of both types of bacteria could be killed with low-dose of V2C NSs suspension (40 μg/mL) with 5 min NIR irradiation due to the intrinsic antibacterial ability and photothermal effect of V2C NSs, which is much higher than previous reports on Ta4C3, Ti3C2, MoSe2, and Nb2C. This work expands the application of MXene V2C NSs for rapid bacteria-killing and would gain promising attention for applications in the sterilization industry.

Abstract
Drug-resistant pathogens are less sensitive to traditional antibiotics in many stubborn infections. It is imminently desirable to have an effective alternative therapeutic agent for combating drug-resistant pathogen infections. Herein, a photo-triggered multifunctional nanoplatform (TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs) with efflux pump and heat shock protein expression reversal activity is developed for the highly effective eradication of drug-resistant fungi. Upon 808 nm laser excitation, the hyperthermia originating from a BODIPY derivative (TMOB) can not only melt the phase-change material (PCM) vehicle consisting of hexadecanol and cis-2-dodecenoic acid (BDSF) to on-demand release the quorum sensing molecule BDSF and the antifungal drug fluconazole (FLU), but can also destroy the integrity of the C. albicans cell membrane. Thanks to the release of BDSF from TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs, the expression of drug efflux pumps (MDR1, CDR2, CDR4) and thermotolerant proteins (HSP12, HSP21, HSP60, HSP90) is inhibited, which further boosts the therapeutic effect of chemo/photothermal therapy. Moreover, the hyphal and biofilm formation of C. albicans can be blocked by TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs under 808 nm laser irradiation. In vitro and in vivo results indicate that TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs with good biosafety can efficiently eliminate clinical azole-resistant C. albicans. Thus, TMOB/FLU@PCM NPs exhibits a promising future in the treatment of azole-resistant C. albicans infection.

A Review of the Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Bulk and Two-Dimensional Tin (II) Sulfide (SnS). APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Tin(II) sulfide (SnS) is an attractive semiconductor for solar energy conversion in thin film devices due to its bandgap of around 1.3 eV in its orthorhombic polymorph, and a band gap energy of 1.5–1.7 eV for the cubic polymorph—both of which are commensurate with efficient light harvesting, combined with a high absorption coefficient (10−4 cm−1) across the NIR–visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, leading to theoretical power conversion efficiencies >30%. The high natural abundance and a relative lack of toxicity of its constituent elements means that such devices could potentially be inexpensive, sustainable, and accessible to most nations. SnS exists in its orthorhombic form as a layer structure similar to black phosphorus; therefore, the bandgap energy can be tuned by thinning the material to nanoscale dimensions. These and other properties enable SnS applications in optoelectronic devices (photovoltaics, photodetectors), lithium- and sodium-ion batteries, and sensors among others with a significant potential for a variety of future applications. The synthetic routes, structural, optical and electronic properties as well as their applications (in particular photonic applications and energy storage) of bulk and 2D tin(II) sulfide are reviewed herein.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e2000436. [PMID: 32406205 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202000436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2020] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
The emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria has resulted in plenty of stubborn nosocomial infections and severely threatens human health. Developing novel bactericide and therapeutic strategy is urgently needed. Herein, mesoporous silica supported silver-bismuth nanoparticles (Ag-Bi@SiO2 NPs) are constructed for synergistic antibacterial therapy. In vitro experiments indicate that the hyperthermia originating from Bi NPs can disrupt cell integrity and accelerate the Ag ions release, further exhibiting an excellent antibacterial performance toward methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Besides, under laser irradiation, Ag-Bi@SiO2 NPs at 100 µg mL-1 can effectively obliterate mature MRSA biofilm and cause a 69.5% decrease in the biomass, showing a better therapeutic effect than Bi@SiO2 NPs with laser (26.8%) or Ag-Bi@SiO2 NPs without laser treatment (30.8%) groups. More importantly, in vivo results confirm that ≈95.4% of bacteria in abscess are killed and the abscess ablation is accelerated using the Ag-Bi@SiO2 NPs antibacterial platform. Therefore, Ag-Bi@SiO2 NPs with photothermal-enhanced antibacterial activity are a potential nano-antibacterial agent for the treatment of skin infections.
