Abstract
Infections resulting from bacteria resistant to antibiotics represent a significant risk to human health. Therefore, exploring novel and effective antibacterial treatment strategies as substitutes for traditional antibiotics is essential. Here, we developed heterogeneous bimetallic Pd@Pt Cubes with a core-shell structure for near-infrared light-enhanced bacterial infection treatment. Heterogeneous core-shell bimetallic Pd@Pt nanocubes demonstrated remarkable photothermal properties along with peroxidase-mimic activity, promoting the combined interaction between photothermal antibacterial therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT). As demonstrated in vitro antibacterial tests, Pd@Pt Cubes can effectively eliminate both E. coli and S. aureus, and enhance drug penetration in biofilm by disrupting the biofilm. Furthermore, in vivo antibacterial tests indicated that Pd@Pt Cubes can significantly enhance the repair of tissues in bacterial infection sites. Overall, this study constructed an efficient and multifunctional antibacterial nanoplatform through a rational combination and design, and achieved PTT/CDT bimodal bacterial infection treatment through multiple enhancement strategies.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
