Abstract
Rational surface engineering of nanocatalysts offers new solutions against antibiotic-resistant infections. We designed and fabricated hierarchical MnO₂@Au@ZIF-67 nanoparticles (NPs) with triple interfacial functionalities for synergistic antibacterial therapy. The acid-responsive ZIF-67 surface degrades in infected wounds, releasing Co²⁺ to catalyze •OH generation via Fenton-like reactions at the material-bacteria interface. Simultaneously, ultrasmall Au surfaces deplete glucose through oxidase-mimetic catalysis, producing gluconic acid that accelerates ZIF-67 dissolution. The MnO₂ core surface decomposes H₂O₂ to supply O₂, enhancing Au catalysis and alleviating hypoxia. Comprehensive surface characterization (TEM, SEM, XPS, XRD) confirmed structural integrity and reactive sites. In vitro, the NPs achieved > 99 % bacterial killing (S. aureus/E. coli) through ROS-mediated membrane disruption (validated by SEM/CLSM). In vivo, they enabled 98.45 % bacterial clearance and accelerated wound healing via collagen reorganization (H&E/Masson staining). This surface-engineered platform demonstrates how interfacial catalytic cascades can be harnessed for effective non-antibiotic antimicrobial applications.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
