One pot synthesis of SeTe-ZnO nanoparticles for antibacterial and wound healing applications.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial infections, particularly those involving biofilms, pose significant treatment challenges due to their resistance to traditional antibiotics. Herein, this research explores the integration of selenium-tellurium nanoparticles (SeTe NP) and zinc oxide (ZnO) NP to create hybrid NP with dual photodynamic and photothermal properties. The synthesized SeTe-ZnO NP demonstrated significant efficacy against both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) bacteria, effectively disrupting biofilm formation and promoting wound healing. In vivo studies further confirmed the biocompatibility and super
