Antimicrobial materials based on photothermal action and their application in wound treatment

Abstract Considering the increasing abundance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, novel antimicrobial approaches need to be investigated. Photothermal therapy (PTT), an innovative noninvasive therapeutic technique, has demonstrated significant potential in addressing drug-resistant bacteria and bacterial biofilms. However, when used in isolation, PTT requires higher-temperature conditions to effectively eradicate bacteria, thereby potentially harming healthy tissues and inducing new inflammation. This study aims to present a comprehensive review of nanomaterials with intrinsic antimicrobial properties, antimicrobial materials relying on photothermal action, and nanomaterials using drug delivery antimicrobial action, along with their applications in antimicrobials. Additionally, the synergistic mechanisms of these antimicrobial approaches are elucidated. The review provides a reference for developing multifunctional photothermal nanoplatforms for treating bacterially infected wounds.
