This study reports an innovative hybrid nanozyme independent of antibiotics for antimicrobial wound healing, which showed excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial effects, making it a potential strategy for healing bacterial wound infections.
Bacterial wound infections are a serious threat due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Herein, we report an innovative hybrid nanozyme independent of antibiotics for antimicrobial wound healing. The hybrid nanozymes are fabricated from ultra-small Au NPs via in-situ growth on metal-organic framework (MOF)-stabilised Fe3O4 NPs (Fe3O4@MOF@Au NPs, FMA NPs). The fabricated hybrid nanozymes displayed synergistic peroxidase (POD)-like activities. It showed a remarkable level of hydroxyl radicals (OH) in the presence of a low dose of H2O2 (0.97 mM). Further, the hybrid FMA nanozymes exhibited excellent biocompatibility and favourable antibacterial effects against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. The animal experiments indicated that the hybrid nanozymes promoted wound repair with adequate biosafety. Thus, the well-designed hybrid nanozymes represent a potential strategy for healing bacterial wound infections, without any toxic side effects, suggesting possible applications in antimicrobial therapy.
