Raspberry-like gold nanozyme-hybrid liposomes for hypoxia-enhanced biofilm eradication

Lingyun Zou et al.

Summary: Bacterial biofilm-associated infection is a major threat to global public health due to antibiotic resistance. This study repurposes a hypoxia-activated anticancer drug, tirapazamine (TPZ), to treat biofilm-associated infections. A hypoxia-enhanced strategy is used to improve the efficacy of TPZ by encapsulating it into raspberry-like gold nanoparticle-hybrid liposomes (Lip@Au-TPZ). The gold nanoparticles act as nanozymes to catalyze glucose oxidation and aggravate biofilm hypoxia, leading to the eradication of biofilms.

Bacteria-Targeting Photodynamic Nanoassemblies for Efficient Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Biofilm Infected Keratitis

Yiwen Zhu et al.

Summary: The newly designed P alpha Gal(50)-b-PGRB(20) can effectively disperse biofilms and selectively kill MDR-P. aeruginosa within biofilms by binding to Lec A in the extracellular polymeric substances and on the P. aeruginosa membrane under low phototoxicity caused by broad-spectrum aPDT. It has bactericidal activities by damaging DNA, RNA, protein, and membrane, showing potential for better corneal recovery in MDR-P. aeruginosa biofilm infected keratitis model.

Facile Synthesis of Zn2+-Based Hybrid Nanoparticles as a New Paradigm for the Treatment of Internal Bacterial Infections

Yue Huang et al.

Summary: Transition metal ions have been used as sterilizing agents for thousands of years, but traditional metal or metal oxide nanoparticles cannot be directly medicated into the human body due to potential toxicity. Novel Zn2+-epsilon-poly(l-lysine)-protocatechuic aldehyde-based hybrid nanoparticles with on-demand release capability were synthesized for the first time in this study. These nanoparticles effectively adhere to bacterial cells, release Zn2+ in situ, exhibit excellent bactericidal ability, and show negligible toxicity, making them ideal candidates for treating internal infections.

Microrobots with Antimicrobial Peptide Nanoarchitectonics for the Eradication of Antibiotic-Resistant Biofilms

Vedran Milosavljevic et al.

Summary: Bacterial biofilms are protected by an extracellular matrix formed through quorum sensing communication, but self-propelled microrobots show promise in their removal. This study demonstrates the design of multifunctional microrobots using antimicrobial peptides for eradicating MRSA-produced biofilms. The microrobots can navigate, enter the biofilms, and block bacterial DNA replication, showcasing their potential for biomedical research.

A biophysical limit for quorum sensing in biofilms

Avaneesh V. Narla et al.

Summary: Bacteria form complex immobile communities called biofilms, where they interact and compete via quorum sensing (QS) by producing and detecting small molecules called autoinducers (AIs). A study explored the competitive advantage of QS in biofilms and found that the effectiveness of QS strategies is influenced by nutrient availability and the dynamic range of AI concentrations in biofilms is limited by biophysical constraints.
