Abstract
In daily life and during surgery, the skin, as the outermost organ of the human body, is easily damaged to form wounds. If the wound was infected by the bacteria, especially the drug-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it was difficult to recover. Therefore, it was important to develop the safe antimicrobial strategy to inhibit bacterial growth in the wound site, in particular, to overcome the problem of bacterial drug resistance. Here, the Ag/AgBr-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (Ag/AgBr-MBG) was prepared, which had excellent photocatalytic properties under simulated daylight for rapid antibacterial activity within 15 min by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, the killing rate of Ag/AgBr-MBG against MRSA was 99.19% within 15 min, which further reduced the generation of drug-resistant bacteria. In addition, Ag/AgBr-MBG particles could disrupt bacterial cell membranes, showing the broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and promoting tissue regeneration and infected wound healing. Ag/AgBr-MBG particles might have potential applications as a light-driven antimicrobial agent in the field of biomaterials.
