Ultrasound-Activated Piezoelectric MoS₂ Enhances Sonodynamic for Bacterial Killing.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial infections are a serious public health issue that threatens the lives of patients because of their ability to induce other lethal complications without prompt treatment. Conventional antibiotic therapy can cause bacterial resistance and other adverse effects. It is highly desirable to develop effective and antibiotic-independent therapeutic strategies to treat various kinds of bacterial infections. Herein, sonodynamic-enhanced piezoelectric materials MoS₂ and Cu₂Oheterostructure that responds to exogenous ultrasound (US) and generates reactive oxygen for Staphylococcus aureus elimination are developed. It is shown in the results that the polariton charge induced by piezoelectric MoS₂ nanosheets under US irradiation can accelerate the transf
