rGO was used for simultaneously anchoring AgNPs and Daptomycin to prepare rGO@Ag@Dap for anti-bacterium. The new nanomaterial showed strong Gram-positive bacteria killing ability in vitro and enhanced wound healing infected with S. aureus in vivo.
Bacterial infection, especially multidrug-resistant bacteria-induced infection, is threatening human health seriously, which has posed great challenges for clinical therapy. The overuse of conventional antibiotics has given rise to bacterial resistance...
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is a common bacterium whose drug-resistant can cause surgical failures and incurable infections in hospital patients. Thus, how to reverse or delay the resistance induction has become a great challenge for development antiresistant drug. Recently, the combination of nanomaterial-loaded antibiotics with photothermal therapy showed the efficient antibacteria ability under a low dosage of antibiotics. In this study, a nanocomposite of HMPB NPs with inherent photothermal therapy capability was used to eradicate K. pneumoniae after loading with Ofloxacin, an antibiotic against K. pneumoniae in vitro and in vivo. The nanocomplexes named as Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs showed a higher effect against K. pneumoniae by destroying cell integrity and inducing ATP leakage with the assistance of laser irradiation, compared with sole Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs or laser irradiation. Surgical wound infection assay further demonstrated the efficient killing K. pneumoniae and promoting the formation of new tissues, as well, which was reflected by the rapid healing of surgical wound. In summary, these results indicate the great potential of this combinational tactic based on Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA NPs for preventing the failure caused by K. pneumoniae infection.

Bacterial infections, especially infections caused by multi-drug
resistant bacteria, pose a serious threat to human health and bring huge
challenges to clinical treatment. The excessive use of antibiotics can
easily lead to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which severely
limits clinical treatment options. There is an urgent need to develop
high-efficiency antibacterial materials and treatment strategies to
inhibit infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria. In this work,
a nanocomposite named Ofloxacin@HMPB@HA(OHH NPs) combined with the laser
irradiation was used to reduce the development of drug resistance and
accelerate wound healing in a model infected by Klebsiella
pneumoniae(K.Pneumoniae). In vitro results showed that compared with OHH
NPs or NIR laser irradiation alone, this combination strategy can exert
a synergistic effect on anti-K.Pneumoniae by destroying cell integrity
with generating ROS and reducing ATP, and also inhibit the development
of bacterial resistance. Moreover, in vivo experiments have shown that
the system effectively promotes wound healing through killing
K.Pneumoniae and promoting the formation of new tissues. In summary,
these results indicate that OHH NPs show great potential in the clinical
application of bacterial infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
