Pharmaceutical Intermediate-Modified Gold Nanoparticles: Against Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria and Wound-Healing Application via an Electrospun Scaffold.

Remedying a multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria wound infection is a major challenge due to the inability of conventional antibiotics to treat such infections against MDR bacteria. Thus, developing wound dressings for wound care, particularly against MDR bacteria, is in huge demand. Here, we present a strategy in designing wound dressings: we use a small molecule (6-aminopenicillanic acid, APA)-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to inhibit MDR bacteria. We dope the AuNPs into electrospun fibers of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/gelatin to yield materials that guard against wound infection by MDR bacteria. We systematically evaluate the bactericidal activity of the AuNPs and wound-healing capability via the electrospun scaffold. APA-modified AuNPs (Au_APA) exhibit remarkable antibacterial activity even when confronted with MDR bacteria. Meanwhile, Au_APA has outstanding biocompatibility. Moreover, an in vivo bacteria-infected wound-healing experiment indicates that it has a striking ability to remedy a MDR bacteria wound infection. This wound scaffold can assist the wound care for bacterial infections.
