Iron oxide nanozyme suppresses intracellular Salmonella Enteritidis growth and alleviates infection in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Rational:Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is a globally significant zoonotic foodborne pathogen which has led to large numbers of deaths in humans and caused economic losses in animal husbandry. S. Enteritidis invades host cells and survives within the cells, causing resistance to antibiotic treatment. Effective methods of elimination and eradication of intracellular S. Enteritidis are still very limited. Here we evaluated whether a new intracellular antibacterial strategy using iron oxide nanozymes (IONzymes) exerted highly antibacterial efficacy via its intrinsic peroxidase-like activity in vitro and in vivo.Methods: The antibacterial activities of IONzymes against planktonic S. Enteritidis, intracellular S. Ent
