Antibacterial Nanoagents: Nonchemotherapic and Robust Dual-Responsive Nanoagents with On-Demand Bacterial Trapping, Ablation, and Release for Efficient Wound Disinfection (Adv. Funct. Mater. 21/2018)

A nonchemotherapeutic and robust dual-responsive antibacterial nano-agents to control the trapping, ablation and release of pathogenic bacteria is established and studied by Chong Cheng, Chuanxiong Nie, Changsheng Zhao, and co-workers in article number 1705708. This novel and unique nanoagent can serve as localized heating source to enhance photothermal ablation of bacteria, which provides a new pathway for wound disinfection.
