Hedgehog artificial macrophage with atomic-catalytic centers to combat Drug-resistant bacteria

Abstract: Pathogenic drug-resistant bacteria represent a threat to human health, for instance, the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There is an ever-growing need to develop non-antibiotic strategies to fight bacteria without triggering drug resistance. Here, we design a hedgehog artificial macrophage with atomic-catalytic centers to combat MRSA by mimicking the “capture and killing” process of macrophages. The experimental studies and theoretical calculations reveal that the synthesized materials can … Show more

“…Pathogenic drug-resistant bacteria have displayed enormous threaten human life, engineering more effective ROS-based strategies for inhibiting drug-resistant bacteria shows essential importance in next-generation nanomedicines. [6,46,47] After revealing the outstanding ROS-catalytic properties of the electronic structure modulated VO x -AE; to show their application potential, we then carefully examine its activity in combating drug-resistant bacteria by taking the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) as a representative. [48] We first perform the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests by the classical plate count method to quantitatively analyze the bacterial viability (Figure 6a).…”

“…The versatility of transition metal electronic states and coordination modes lays the foundation for transition metal catalysis in chemistry, which also provides opportunities to develop new AMEs starting from nature's vast collection of metalloproteins. [5][6][7][8] Since the ferromagnetic nanoparticles were reported with peroxidase (POD)mimetic activity, [9] a lot of metalnanomaterialbased AMEs, exhibiting biocatalytic activities of oxidase (OXD), [10,11] POD, [12] halogen peroxidase (HPO), [13] etc., have been discovered, [8,[14][15][16] among which, the metalNcoordinated centers supported by carbo naceous substrates have emerged as promising candidates to engineer AMEs to mimic the biocatalytic effects of their natural counterparts. [16][17][18][19][20][21] However, their catalytic activities, substrates' selectivities, kinetics, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) products have not been investigated since the synthesis of AMEs that consist of different atomic metalN centers but exhibit similar physicochemical and coordination structures remains a substantial challenge.…”
