Bacteria-infected wounds are attracting increasing attention, as antibiotic misuse and multidrug-resistant bacteria complicate their treatment. Herein, we reported a photothermal activity-based drug consisting of β-cyclodextrin (βCD)-functionalized graphene oxide (GO) near-infrared light-responsive nanovehicles combined with the nitric oxide donor BNN6, in a methacrylate-modified gelatin (GelMA)/ hyaluronic acid graft dopamine (HA-DA) hydrogel. The synergistic effects of photothermal and gas therapies are expected to improve antibacterial efficiency and reduce drug resistance. The results revealed that GelMA/HA-DA/GO-βCD-BNN6 was an ideal antibacterial material that improved collagen deposition and angiogenesis and promoted wound healing in a mouse model of full-thickness skin repair, compared to the commercially available Aquacel Ag dressing. We developed a multifunctional nanocomposite hydrogel that exhibited antibacterial and angiogenic properties, adhesiveness, and mechanical properties that enhance the regeneration of bacteria-infected wounds.
