Common bacterial pathogens have become resistant to traditional antibiotics, representing an indispensable public health crisis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially when common visible light sources are used as photodynamic power, is a promising bactericidal method. Based on the special photodynamic properties triggered by commonly available light emitting diode (LED) lamps, a kind of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) based composite system (termed GQDs@hMSN(EM)) was prepared through loading both GQDs and erythromycin (EM) into the hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticle (hMSN), aiming to achieve joint antimicrobial effect. Bacterial density experiments confirmed that GQDs@hMSN(EM) had combined antimicrobial effects from photodynamic effect and drug release on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In animal models, the healing degree of wounds infected by bacteria also confirmed that GQDs@hMSN(EM) group had the best therapeutic effect, with the significantly reduced inflammatory factors in blood. Different from traditional GQDs synthesized by solvothermal method, the as-prepared GQDs@hMSN can produce singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) under light exposure to destroy the structure of bacteria, thus achieving highly efficient antimicrobial effect. The GQDs@hMSN(EM) in this work possesses good antimicrobial activity, sufficient drug loading, and controllable drug release ability, which provides a new opportunity for GQDs-based nanoplatform to enhance antimicrobial effect and reduce their drug resistance.
