Quaternized carbon quantum dots with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity for the treatment of wounds infected with mixed bacteria

Chengfei Zhao et al.

Summary: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a serious global public health threat, highlighting the urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. In this study, quaternized carbon quantum dots (qCQDs) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity were successfully synthesized. The qCQDs exhibited satisfactory antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In rat models of wound infections, qCQDs effectively restored the weight of rats, reduced the mortality rate associated with severe infection, and promoted wound recovery and healing. Biosafety tests confirmed the absence of obvious toxic and side effects during the testing phase. Proteomics analysis revealed that qCQDs primarily targeted ribosomal proteins in Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and down-regulated proteins associated with the citrate cycle in Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria). Real-time quantitative PCR confirmed the consistency between the changes in genes corresponding to these proteins and the proteomic results after qCQDs treatment, suggesting a new antibacterial mechanism of qCQDs different from previously reported carbon quantum dots with antibacterial properties.

Insight into the effect of particle size distribution differences on the antibacterial activity of carbon dots

Baohong Sun et al.

Summary: This study separated carbon dots (CDs) derived from chlorhexidine gluconate into three groups with different particle sizes and found that the antibacterial activity increases as the size of the CDs decreases. This phenomenon may stem from the differences in cellular uptake and distribution of CDs in the plasma membrane, as well as the restriction between the polar functional group and DNA molecule.
