Abstract:Bacterial infection may lead to organ damage and even death. Copper ions have attracted much attention in bacterialinfected wound treatment due to their ability to kill bacteria and promote neovascularization. However, the unsatisfied copper delivery for efficient bacteria removal and unexpected side effects due to copper accumulation in normal tissues limit its application. Here, we developed a copper−gold alloy nanorod (CuAu NR) as a photothermal agent to treat chronic wounds and keratitis with Methicillin-r… Show more
