Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-related wound infections are a thorny issue. It is urgent to develop new antibacterial wound dressings that can not only prevent wounds from MDR bacteria infection but also promote wound healing. Herein, an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecule BITT-composited bacterial cellulose (BC) is presented as wound dressings. BC-BITT composites have good transparency, making it easy to monitor the wound healing process through the composite membrane. The BC-BITT composites retain the advantages of biocompatible BC, and display photodynamic and photothermal synergistic antibacterial effects under irradiation of a 660nm laser. Furthermore, the BC-BITT composites show excellent wound healing performance in a mouse full-thickness skin wound model infected by MDR bacteria, simultaneously with negligible toxicity. This work paves a way for treating clinically troublesome wound infections.
