Graphitic-N-doped graphene quantum dots for photothermal eradication of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the second near-infrared window

investigations verified that the generation of hyperthermia by N-GQDs plus a NIR-II laser can combat MDR bacterial infections and thus significantly accelerate wound healing. Our work provides a novel carbon-based nanomaterial as a photothermal antibacterial agent for efficiently avoiding bacterial resistance and fighting MDR bacterial infections.
