Abstract

Bacterial has become a common pathogen of humans owing to their drug-resistant effects and evasion of the host immune system, with their ability to form biofilm and induce severe infections, a condition which has become a primary public health concern globally. Herein, we report on CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs antibacterial activity enhanced by near-infrared (NIR) light which was effective in the elimination of and the . The CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs under NIR significantly eradicated and its biofilm and , and subsequently exhibited such phenomenon , eliminating bacteria and healing wound. This demonstrated the combined intrinsic antibacterial potency of the Cu and Ag components of the CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs was enhanced tremendously to achieve such outcomes in and . Considering the above advantages and facile preparation methods, the CuO@AgO/ZnO NPs synthesized in this work may prove as an important antibacterial agent in bacterial-related infection therapeutics and for biomedical-related purposes.
