Single Copper Atom Photocatalyst Powers an Integrated Catalytic Cascade for Drug-Resistant Bacteria Elimination

Fan Wu et al.

Summary: To combat drug-resistant bacteria, researchers developed copper-doped guanine-derived nanosheets that have the catalytic properties of glucose oxidase and peroxidase. These nanosheets produce free radicals when exposed to light, effectively eliminating drug-resistant bacteria. The nanosheets also promote the activation of oxygen and the splitting of hydrogen peroxide, causing damage to the bacterial cell membrane and an increase in reactive oxygen inside the cells. This study showed that the nanosheets efficiently eliminated Staphylococci in infected wounds and accelerated wound closure in a mouse model, with minimal side effects on normal tissues. These nanosheets could serve as a non-antibiotic alternative for treating bacterial infections.

Chitosan-based nanoparticles against bacterial infections

Somaye Rashki et al.

Summary: Chitosan nanomaterials have gained attention in biomedicine for their high levels of biodegradability and biocompatibility, along with antimicrobial effects. Functional modification with other natural compounds, metallic antimicrobial particles, and antibiotics can enhance the efficiency of chitosan in wound dressing with antimicrobial activity. The antibacterial effect of chitosan is mainly associated with the leakage of intracellular content due to malfunction and altered permeability of the negatively charged cell membrane, on which chitosan is adsorbed. Additionally, chitosan nanoparticles possess favorable features of nanoparticles and their chitosan base, thereby exhibiting strengthened antibacterial potential. Polycations in chitosan nanoparticles target negatively charged bacterial membranes, resulting in a stronger effect on bacterial cells compared to pure chitosan.
