Enhancing the antibacterial activity of near-infrared light-triggered photothermal therapy using hybrid Au/ZnSe nanodumbbells

Abstract

Photothermal therapy (PTT) for bacterial infection is an effective alternative to antibiotics. However, the excitation light with short wavelength which has unsatisfactory tissue penetration and the poor photothermal (PT) effect...

“…Meanwhile, the photoacoustic intensity of the PtAg nanosheet with the NIR-II laser was significantly higher than that of the NIR-I laser (Figure 12a). The results of inhibiting tumor proliferation using PtAg nanosheets also showed that PAI-guided PTT is an [117] Copyright 2022, The Royal Society of Chemistry. f) Schematic of cysteamine and NIR-II PTT induced silver release from gold sliver hollow nanocages for therapy of multidrug-resistant bacteria infections.…”

“…Owing to its special structure and composition, Au/ZnSe exhibits high PT conversion efficiency and antibacterial ability (Figure 10a-e). [117] Qin et al designed hollow gold-silver nanocages that can combine with cysteamine (Cyh) to form aggregates and release silver ions efficiently (Figure 10f). The aggregation-induced PTT, synergistic with the release of silver ions, shows antibacterial activity.…”
