NIR-activated hierarchical nanoplatforms based on copper sulfide clusters-nitrogen-doped graphene oxide were developed for ablating antibiotic-resistant bacteria biofilm. The good selectivity of the resulting nanoplatforms enable them to be excellent nanomaterials for eliminating biofilm-related infections.

Presently, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) have been commonly found in environment, such as air, soil and lakes. Therefore, it is urgent and necessary to prepare antimicrobial agents with excellent anti-antibiotic resistant bacteria. In our research, poly-ethylene glycol functionalized molybdenum disulfide nanoflowers (PEG-MoS2 NFs) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. As-prepared PEG-MoS2 NFs displayed excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (30.6%) and photothermal stability. Under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation for 10 min, the inhibition rate of tetracycline-resistant Bacillus tropicalis and Stenotrophomonas malphilia reached more than 95% at the concentration of 50 μg/mL. More interestingly, the photothermal effect of PEG-MoS2 NFs could accelerate the oxidation of glutathione, resulting in the rapid death of bacteria. A functionalized PEG-MoS2 NFs photothermal anti-antibiotic resistant system was constructed successfully.
