Drug-Free Antimicrobial Nanomotor for Precise Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infections.

Manufacturing heteronanostructures with specific physicochemical characteristics and tightly controllable designs is very appealing. Herein, we reported NIR-II light-driven dual plasmonic (AuNR-SiO2-Cu7S4) antimicrobial nanomotors with an intended Janus configuration through the overgrowth of copper-rich Cu7S4 nanocrystals at only one high-curvature site of Au nanorods (Au NRs). These nanomotors were applied for photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided synergistic photothermal and photocatalytic treatment of bacterial infections. Both the photothermal performance and photocatalytic activity of the nanomotors are dramatically improved owing to the strong plasmon coupling between Au NRs and the Cu7S4 component and enhanced energy transfer. The motion behavior of nanomotors promotes transdermal penetration and enhances the matter-bacteria interaction. More importantly, the directional navigation and synergistic antimicrobial activity of the nanomotors could be synchronously driven by NIR-II light. The marriage of active motion and enhanced antibacterial activity resulted in the expected good antibacterial effects in an abscess infection mouse model.
