Abstract
Engineering of catalytically active inorganic nanomaterials holds promising prospects for biomedicine. Catalytically active metal oxides show applications in enhancing wound healing but have also been employed to induce cell death in photodynamic or radiation therapy. Upon introduction into a biological system, nanomaterials are exposed to complex fluids, causing interaction and adsorption of ions and proteins. While protein corona formation on nanomaterials is acknowledged, its modulation of nanomaterial catalytic efficacy is less understood. In this study, proteomic analyses and nano-analytic methodologies quantify and characterize adsorbed proteins, correlating this protein layer with metal oxide catalytic activity in vitro and in vivo. The protein corona comprises up to 280 different proteins, constituting up to 38% by weight. Enhanced complement factors and other opsonins on nanocatalyst surfaces lead to their uptake into macrophages when applied topically, localizing >99% of the nanomaterials in tissue-resident macrophages. Initially, the formation of the protein corona significantly reduces the nanocatalysts' activity, but this activity can be partially recovered in endosomal conditions due to the proteolytic degradation of the corona. Overall, the research reveals the complex relationship between physisorbed proteins and the catalytic characteristics of specific metal oxide nanoparticles, providing design parameters for optimizing nanocatalysts in complex biological environments.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the most critical obstacles in wound healing, and severe bacterial infections can lead to inflammatory conditions and delay the healing process. Herein, a novel hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), agar, and silk-AgNPs was prepared using a straightforward one-pot physical cross-linking method. The in situ synthesis of AgNPs in hydrogels exploited the reducibility of tyrosine (Tyr tyrosine) in silk fibroin, which endowed the hydrogels with outstanding antibacterial qualities. In addition, the strong hydrogen bond cross-linked networks of agar and the crystallites formed by PVA as the physical cross-linked double network of the hydrogel gave it excellent mechanical stability. The PVA/agar/SF-AgNPs (PASA) hydrogels exhibited excellent water absorption, porosity, and significant antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Furthermore, in vivo experimental results confirmed that the PASA hydrogel significantly promoted wound repair and skin tissue reconstruction by reducing inflammation and promoting collagen deposition. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the PASA hydrogel enhanced CD31 expression to promote angiogenesis while decreasing CD68 expression to reduce inflammation. Overall, the novel PASA hydrogel showed great potential for bacterial infection wound management.

Abstract
The prevalence of antibiotic traces in the aquatic matrices is a concern due to the emanation of antibiotic resistance which requires a multifaceted approach. One of the potential sources is the wastewater treatment plants with a lack of advance infrastructure leading to the dissemination of contaminants. Continuous advancements in economic globalization have facilitated the application of several conventional, advanced, and hybrid techniques for the mitigation of rising antibiotic traces in the aquatic matrices that have been thoroughly scrutinized in the current paper. Although the implementation of existing mitigation techniques is associated with several limiting factors and barriers which require further research to enhance their removal efficiency. The review further summarizes the application of the microbial processes to combat antibiotic persistence in wastewater establishing a sustainable approach. However, hybrid technologies are considered as most efficient and environmental-benign due to their higher removal efficacy, energy-efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. A brief elucidation has been provided for the mechanism responsible for lowering antibiotic concentration in wastewater through biodegradation and biotransformation. Overall, the current review presents a comprehensive approach for antibiotic mitigation using existing methods however, policies and measures should be implemented for continuous monitoring and surveillance of antibiotic persistence in aquatic matrices to reduce their potential risk to humans and the environment.

Abstract
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a widespread concern, and poses serious environmental and global health problems. Lots of studies have demonstrated that engineered nanoparticles (NPs) can significantly affect bacterial antibiotic resistance; however, whether NPs promote or inhibit antibiotic resistance remains a complex and well-debated issue. This will constrain environmental antibiotic resistance gene contamination and clinical bacterial resistance problems, resulting in unclear and poorly targeted treatment efficacy. To better understand the relationship between NPs and antibiotic resistance, this review systematically summarizes and reanalyzes published data on the effect of NPs on bacterial antibiotic resistance and related mechanisms. The effects of intrinsic properties of NPs, such as size, concentration, functional groups, and extrinsic properties of NPs on the development of antibiotic resistance were dissected. This review will provide a better understanding of the effects of increasingly released NPs in different environments on bacterial resistance and underlines the direction for employing NPs to control the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. Next, how NPs affect intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance needs in-depth exploration. Besides, alternative treatments of NPs and antibiotics in therapy will be a future trend for combating antibiotic resistance, and the follow-up emphasis should determine their dose effects and potential mechanism. This study will expand our understanding of the biosafety of nanomaterials and provides a theoretical reference to guide the proper application of nanomaterials or technologies to environmental pollution control and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) can hide inside cells, avoid antibiotic therapy and being killed by host's immune system to cause persistent infection in humans and animals. Metal nanoparticles are regarded as an alternative to overcome the above limitations, silver nanoparticles especially have been applied in combating drug-resistant bacteria. However, the therapeutic effects of silver nanoparticles against intracellular infection and their impacts on host immunity remain an area of further investigation. In this work, we synthesized Ganoderma extract-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag@Ge) and explored the therapeutic potential and immune adjuvant effects of Ag@Ge against intracellular ST. Firstly, Ag@Ge had a small particle size of 35.52±7.46 nm, good stability, and biocompatibility. Then, Ag@Ge effectively entered RAW 264.7 cells, suppressed intracellular ST infection. Furthermore, Ag@Ge activated mouse dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro, evidenced by increased phenotypic markers (CD80/CD86/CD40/major compatibility complex II (MHCII)) expression and cytokine and chemokine (interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL-2), and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor-7 (CCR-7)) transcription. More notably, the combination of Ag@Ge with inactivated ST recruited intestinal DCs to mitigate ST infection in mice, evidenced by decreased body weight loss and bacterial loads in the tissues (liver, jejunum, and colon), and improved platelets count. The above findings indicate that Ag@Ge has the potential as an alternative nano-antibiotic against intracellular ST infection.

Abstract
Some existing therapies such as antimicrobial regimens, drug combinations, among others, are employed for the treatment of infections that are a threat to the healthcare industry owing to low drug efficacy, increasing dosage regimes, mutation in bacteria and poor pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics properties of drugs. Overuse of antibiotics is fostering the emergence and spread of inherent microorganisms that confer temporary and permanent resistance. Nanocarriers accompanying the ABC transporter efflux mechanism are considered 'magic bullets' (i.e., effective antibacterial agents) and can traverse the multidrug-resistant obstacle owing to their multifunctional capabilities (e.g., nanostructure, variability in in vivo functions, etc.) by interfering with normal cell activity. This review focuses on novel applications of the ABC transporter pump by nanocarriers to overcome the resistance caused by the various organs of the body. Teaser: Nanocarriers, the ABC transporter and overcoming multidrug resistance.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has further confirmed to the community that direct contact with contaminated surfaces and objects represents an important source of pathogen spreading among humans. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to design effective germicidal paints to ensure a rapid and potent disinfectant action of surfaces. In this work, we design novel germicide polymeric coatings by inserting quaternary ammonium and sugar groups on the macromolecular backbone, thus respectively endowing the polymer with germicide features and hydrophilicity to interact with the surfaces. An aliphatic polyketone was selected as a starting polymer matrix that was functionalized with primary amine derivatives via the Paal-Knorr reaction. The resulting polymers were deposited on cellulose filter papers and checkboard charts with excellent coating yield and substrate coverage as determined by scanning electron microscopy for cellulose. Remarkably, the substrates coated by the functional polymers bearing quaternary ammonium compounds showed excellent bactericide properties with antibacterial rate of 99% and logarithmic reduction of >3. Notably, the polymers with higher hydrophobicity showed better retention on the substrate after being treated with water at neutral pH.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance represents a serious global health concern and has stimulated the development of antimicrobial nanomaterials to combat resistant bacteria. Protein-based nanoparticles combining characteristics of both proteins and nanoparticles offer advantages including high biocompatibility, attractive biodegradability, enhanced bioavailability and functional versatility. They have played an increasing role as promising candidates for broad applications ranging from biocatalysts and drug delivery to vaccine development to cancer therapeutics. However, their application as antibacterial biomaterials to address challenging antibiotic-resistance problems has not been explicitly pursued. Herein, we describe engineering protein-only nanoparticles against resistant Gram-positive bacteria. A self-assembling peptide (P114) enables the assembly of a phage lytic enzyme (P128) into nanoparticles in response to pH reduction. Compared to native P128 and monomeric P114-P128, P128 nanoparticles (P128NANO) demonstrated a stronger bactericidal ability with high potency at lower concentrations (2-3-fold lower), particularly for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. In addition, P128NANO showed an enhanced thermal (up to 65 °C) and storage stability and elicited extensive damages to bacterial cell walls. These remarkable antibacterial abilities are likely due to the P128NANO nanostructure, mediating multivalent interactions with bacterial cell walls at increased local concentrations of endolysin. The engineered endolysin nanoparticles offer a promising antimicrobial alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Abstract
The substantial increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria is a major threat to global health. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported possibilities of greater deaths due to bacterial infections than cancer. Nanomaterials, especially small-sized (size ≤10 nm) silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), can be employed to combat these deadly bacterial diseases. However, high reactivity, instability, susceptibility to fast oxidation, and cytotoxicity remain crucial shortcomings for their uptake and clinical application. In this review, we discuss various AgNPs-based approaches to eradicate bacterial infections and provide comprehensive mechanistic insights and recent advances in antibacterial activity, antibiofilm activity, and cytotoxicity (both in vitro and in vivo) of AgNPs. The mechanistic of antimicrobial activity involves four steps: (i) adhesion of AgNPs to cell wall/membrane and its disruption; (ii) intracellular penetration and damage; (iii) oxidative stress; and (iv) modulation of signal transduction pathways. Numerous factors affecting the bactericidal activity of AgNPs such as shape, size, crystallinity, pH, and surface coating/charge have also been described in detail. The review also sheds light on antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and the role of AgNPs versus Ag+ ions release in bactericidal activities. In addition, different methods of synthesis of AgNPs have been discussed in brief.

Abstract
Modern biomedicine aims to develop integrated solutions that use medical, biotechnological, materials science, and engineering concepts to create functional alternatives for the specific, selective, and accurate management of medical conditions. In the particular case of tissue engineering, designing a model that simulates all tissue qualities and fulfills all tissue requirements is a continuous challenge in the field of bone regeneration. The therapeutic protocols used for bone healing applications are limited by the hierarchical nature and extensive vascularization of osseous tissue, especially in large bone lesions. In this regard, nanotechnology paves the way for a new era in bone treatment, repair and regeneration, by enabling the fabrication of complex nanostructures that are similar to those found in the natural bone and which exhibit multifunctional bioactivity. This review aims to lay out the tremendous outcomes of using inorganic nanoparticles in bone healing applications, including bone repair and regeneration, and modern therapeutic strategies for bone-related pathologies.

Abstract
Dental implant failure remains a prevalent problem around the globe. The integration of implants at the interface of soft and hard tissues is complex and susceptible to instability and infections. Modifications to the surface of titanium implants have been developed to improve the performance, yet insufficient integration and biofilm formation remain major problems. Introducing nanostructures on the surface to augment the implant-tissue contact holds promise for facilitated implant integration; however, current coating processes are limited in their versatility or costs. We present a highly modular single-step approach to produce multicomponent porous bioactive nanostructured coatings on implants. Inorganic nanoparticle building blocks with complex compositions and architectures are synthesized in situ and deposited on the implants in a single step using scalable liquid-feed flame spray pyrolysis. We present hybrid coatings based on ceria and bioglass, which render the implant surfaces superhydrophilic, promote cell adhesion, and exhibit antimicrobial properties. By modifications to the bioglass/ceria nanohybrid composition and architecture that prevent biomineralization, the coating can instead be tailored toward soft tissue healing. The one-step synthesis of nano-architected tissue-specific coatings has great potential in dental implantology and beyond.

Abstract
One primary mechanism for bacteria developing resistance is frequent exposure to antibiotics. Nanoantibiotics (nAbts) is one of the strategies being explored to counteract the surge of antibiotic resistant bacteria. nAbts are antibiotic molecules encapsulated with engineered nanoparticles (NPs) or artificially synthesized pure antibiotics with a size range of ≤100 nm in at least one dimension. NPs may restore drug efficacy because of their nanoscale functionalities. As carriers and delivery agents, nAbts can reach target sites inside a bacterium by crossing the cell membrane, interfering with cellular components, and damaging metabolic machinery. Nanoscale systems deliver antibiotics at enormous particle number concentrations. The unique size-, shape-, and composition-related properties of nAbts pose multiple simultaneous assaults on bacteria. Resistance of bacteria toward diverse nanoscale conjugates is considerably slower because NPs generate non-biological adverse effects. NPs physically break down bacteria and interfere with critical molecules used in bacterial processes. Genetic mutations from abiotic assault exerted by nAbts are less probable. This paper discusses how to exploit the fundamental physical and chemical properties of NPs to restore the efficacy of conventional antibiotics. We first described the concept of nAbts and explained their importance. We then summarized the critical physicochemical properties of nAbts that can be utilized in manufacturing and designing various nAbts types. nAbts epitomize a potential Trojan horse strategy to circumvent antibiotic resistance mechanisms. The availability of diverse types and multiple targets of nAbts is increasing due to advances in nanotechnology. Studying nanoscale functions and properties may provide an understanding in preventing future outbreaks caused by antibiotic resistance and in developing successful nAbts.
