Abstract:In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been frequently applied in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by PDT have a short lifetime and operating distance, resulting in a generally inadequate therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report the fabrication of a nanostructure-based PDT amplifier composite coating via selfassembly between MIL-96 (Ga) particles, dopamine (DA), and methylene blue (MB). The coatings exhibited a bacterial inhibition rate of over 99% … Show more
